In a recent post, I had noted problems I was having with booting my
computer following a download/installation from windows update.
Someone recommended that I uninstall the recent update. How do I do
this? (note that when I go to the windows update site, and click on
"recent updates made to this computer", it comes up with an error, so
I can't see what updates have been installed this way).
Thanks!
From Microsoft:
Removing Updates
You can remove an update for Windows XP by using Add or Remove Programs in
Control Panel.
If you install multiple updates that replace the same files, and you want to
return your computer to its original state, you must remove the most
recently installed update first. For example, assume that UpdateA and
UpdateB replace the same file and that you installed UpdateA before you
installed UpdateB. To return your computer to its state before the
installation of UpdateA, you must remove UpdateB before you remove UpdateA.
To remove an update for Windows XP
1.
Open Control Panel.
2.
Click Add or Remove Programs.
3.
Select the Show updates check box.
4.
Click the update that you want to remove, and then click Change or
Remove.
5.
Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
Important
. If you try to remove the updates in the wrong order, a warning
appears that lists all of the updates and programs that have been installed
since you installed the update that you are trying to remove. The warning
names the update you are trying to remove and warns you that if you
continue, the programs listed might not run correctly. Click No if you do
not want to remove the update, and if you prefer to remove the programs and
updates that are listed before you continue. Otherwise, click Yes.
. You cannot remove updates that were installed by using the
combination installation method unless you reinstall the operating system.
Reinstalling the operating system overwrites the updates.
