I uninstalled service pack 2 because we have norton and it
was blocking too much and taking up too much space. Even
though our Dell originally came with service pack1...do I
need to reinstall it?
Did sp2 remove everythng?
thanks
 
As far as the Windows firewall and Norton Firewall the
best thing to do is to go under services with SP2
installed. Find Windows Firewall and Security Center. STOP
both services and set them both to disabled. Then your
Norton Firewall should function normally.

The issues with space use and firewall can be easily overcome.
