How can I uninstall a windows update?

[Tony]

I've updated windows XP with all of the recommended auto
updates. Since I've updated my OS I'm having intermitant
problems connecting to the internet via Verizon DSL.

I'd like to uninstall all of the windows updates. How can
this be done? Can I simply go to add/remove programs and
uninstall the updates that I see there? or Can I simply do
a system-restore back to a date before I installed the
updates?

any information with this is appreciated.

BTW, I reinstalled the drivers for the ethernet card
thinking that windows-update corrupted the driver. This
didn't resolve my problem

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I would rather not uninstall all of
the updates. Thanks for the tip on trying to locate the
source of the problem using event viewer. Is this
available with XP-home? (I'm not on an XP machine now).
I hope I can find the one update that is causing my
problems. Thanks again

Yes. That is the way to uninstall them individually

or Can I simply do

If you have such a point, it will take you back over all updates *and*
other changes to the system made since.
