Please help!!! This service pack has killed my machine.
How do I roll it back, it's not in the Add/Remove programs
& the option to archive files when installing was greyed
out.
 
Option 1:Reload.
Option 2: Load Critical Update for Windows XP Service
Pack 2 Release Candidate 1 (KB838904)
Critical Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 Release
Candidate 1 (KB838907)
 
Craig;
Go to Add/Remove Programs.
Place a check in the box at the top "Show Updates"
Look for and click on "Windows XP Service Pack 2"
Follow directions to uninstall SP2

If the uninstall option is still not there, perform a Repair
Installation:

The great thing about these NGs is that you truly can learn from others'
mistakes. NO MS BETAs for me, thank you very much!
 
You've come to the right place. I've already made every mistake that you're
going to make, plus a few that it wouldn't even occur to you to make. So ask
me - been there, done that.
