Uninstall SP2

After installing SP2 I had some computer issues. So I uninstalled the
update. Now all is well again, except that my system properties window
still indicates that SP2 is installed. The same is true if I boot in Safe
Mode. Also, when I go to the Microsoft update site and check for critical
updates it does not indicate the SP2 update as I believe it should.
Installation history also does not acknowledge the uninstall. Any ideas?

Hi

If typing the following from StartRun

winver

and right clicking My Computer and choosing Properties show references to
SP2, then it couldn't have been uninstalled. Is there an entry in
Add/Remove Programs that references SP2?
