RE: "how to uninstall SP3"

Is it not in 'Add or Remove Programs'?


RE: "is it worth me messing around with, I don't want to have to reinstall Windows again

Re-installing SP3 actually fixed numerous problems for me. Now everything works perfectly.
I would say it's worth it. KB950759 is an important IE security update.
Create a System Restore point before hand, just in case.

No its not, my version of windows is an SP3 version built in

What do you mean "built in" ?
Did you just buy it?
In 'Add or Remove Programs' check the box to show updates.

Yes thats corect I purchased Service Pack 3 edition of Windows. I think this
means its built in. I have the check nox selected to show updates and SP3 is
not there with the other Windows updates.

So I am wondering what I should do and how I shoud deal with this.

I really wish I could help you, but I'm lost now.

Open a new thread in the Windows Updates forum (microsoft.public.windowsupdate) and cross
your fingers.

Sorry, good luck!
