I just installed SP2 on a Dell dimension 8200 running XP Home PC. Now I can't
get anything to run. I get a host error and winschd32 error when it boots. I
have tried unsuccessfully to uninstall but when I choose the option, nothing
happens. Any suggestions (I've been at it for 5 hours!)
 
SP2 should be listed in Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. You can
uninstall it from there.
 
Yes it is listed. However, once the PC is booted, nothing will run. I have
tried removing it in safe mode but get an error. Nothing I click on (other
than Word and Excel) will start.
 
Thanks. I will try this approach since nothing else seems to work. I used the
CD direct from MS to install SP2. I may just leave SP2 off this PC at least
until I can determine if I need to flash the BIOS.
 
Maybe in theory you can remove it but i control panel add/remove the error
message "the handle ...." appears and no chance to remove.
