Was it already integrated into Windows when Windows was installed?

Have you definitely got it installed? Start > Run > type "winver" <CR> to
check.

If it came installed on your computer you can't uninstall it.

If you have tried everything in the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article
(concerning SP3 removal - see below) and Windows XP SP3 wasn't integrated at
the initial install - (or if it was and you think you really need to remove
SP3 for Windows XP) - then you are left with one choice.

Format and install clean with installation media that does not include
Windows XP SP3.

The Microsoft KB article about Windows XP SP3 removal:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249

Come back - let everyone know more information and/or how things went for
the removal. This message is archived indefinitely and your response could
help somone else in the future.

Unless of course the disk/factory image is at the SP3 level, then it is not
listed or removable.

Is there a particular issue you think will be resolved by removing
SP3?
