SP2
Yes, you can uninstall it by going to "ADd or Remove Programs" in Control
Panel. Also, the System Restore feature will revert your pc back to a state before SP2. That said, I have SP2 installed for about four months now and have never had any issues with it. Most users have not experienced many problems with SP2. If you folow the instructions of this link, you should not either. http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm "Ronald E.

There are several ways to do so. Realize that most horror stories come from updates done on systems that were not properly prepared - Spyware or other malware present, non sp2 updated drivers and program patches, etc. For most the update goes just fine, but as always, have a complete backup.
