Default Need to Uninstall SP2

I installed Windows XP Pro SP2, and I need to unistall Service Pack 2 due to
software compatibility issue with software.

Article ID 875350 will not work.

Is it possible to uninstall SP2 or could I use a Windows XP PRO SP1 with a
SP2 product ID?

Thanks,

Will

I don't know what article that is, I don't feel like looking it up, but did
you try removing it from Add/Remove programs? Or, you can do a system
restore to a day prior to the installation of SP2.

If an XP Pro SP2 CD was used to install, SP2 can't be installed..

seems strange, what is the incompatibility,
maybe you can disable the feature in Windows
that your software conflicts with

What is the software and compatability issue? There may be a work around.

Nope, it won't. That only applies to systems that had SP2 installed
seperately from the OS.

They have to be the same type of CD (OEM, Retail, etc.) for the key to
work and I'd do a clean install, not a repair install. A repair install
will leave bits and pieces of SP2 behind.

LOL-LOL I hear you!

On a side note, if I ever decided to focus on the date, month and the clock
all at the same time, it would confuse me. Am content in my state of
euphoria, thank you. )
