Hot fixes not in controll panel

[Guest]

I downloaded sp2 a few weeks ago and it shows in the controll panel, but the
updates don't show up, when I had sp1 they showed as hotfixes, how can I
unintall them if they cause problems if they don't show in the panel? and
why don't they show ? thanks, Joyce

In Add or Remove programs make sure that "Show updates" is checked.
This is a new feature added as part of SP2 where updates are not shown
by default but can be made viewable by checking that setting.

Individual hotfixes that were installed prior to SP2 are removed
from the Add/Remove applet since they are now incorporated as part
of SP2. If there were no problems with the hotfixes prior to SP2,
then there would not be any after updating to SP2 and uninstalling
any of them, in the SP2's programmer's mind, is unnecessary.

For a fairly complete list of what's on your computer, you can download and
install Belarc Advisor. It's show all updates/hotfixes, as well as just
about everything on your computer.
