Hi
to find out if you still have sp2 click do the following:
* click on start
* right click on my computer
* click on properties
under the tab general (in which it should open up to) it will say what kind
of system you are running and what service pack as well (if you have a
service pack on your computer)

I just had to restore my computer back to factory and i found that when i
installed sp1 on my computer it deleted all of my restore points so that
could have happened to you as well

im sorry i can not help you anymore than that, all i can suggest is if you
totally want to clean up your computer and get it back running great again
you can do a restore to factory but that is up do you.

SP2 totally corrupted my computer that is why i had to restore my computer
best of luck

Hi,

I'm pretty computer illiterate and wondering if anyone can help..

I have Win XP and downloaded Service Pack 2 a few days ago. It gave me
a nasty experience, so I attempted to uninstall it by using Add /
Remove in the Control Panel. Everything went fine, until I went to
System Restore and attempted to restore my computer to what it was
just prior to installing SP2. The boot went fine, until a screen
popped up that said "Restoration Incomplete" and said that "nothing
has been changed in your computer." First of all, what the hell does
that mean?? Does it mean I still have SP2? I checked Add & Remove, and
did not see an SP2 icon there anymore. However, my computer is still
functioning in an SP2-ish way (acting very slow and crappy), and I'm
wondering what the heck I have now. That's my first question. :\

Ok, to continue this sad story, after the incomplete restoration
process, I
tried to find out what was wrong. A message popped up that said
"suspicious script... [something] having to do with rstrui.exe may be
corrupt". I went back to the screen where it had my Restore Points,
and I couldn't plug in an earlier date than the one I had attempted
unsuccessfully. So I logged onto the web in frustration to try to find
some insight into this problem. Someone there said, "You should
disable System Restore, reboot, enable it, then reboot again." So I
did that, and as expected my Restore Points disappeared, but I ended
up with the same problem of not being able to plug in an earlier date.
I got the same message of the corrupt rstrue.exe thingy and gave up in
frustration.

Now I wonder where the heck my computer is at now. The SP2 icon is
gone in the Add / Remove file, and in place are a bunch of SP1 Hotfix
icons and one SP2 hotfix icon (but the original SP2 icon is gone).
What should I do??

Just so you know, prior to this process I defragged, did a Virus and
SpyWare check, and nothing was amiss.

Any help would be appreciated!
