Check "Show Updates" on the top of the Add/Remove Programs box.

That all sounds good, been there, did that, only that the 2 gig's th
package was taking before are still not free.

It's like, before sp2 installation the HD had 26 G free, afte
installation 24, after uninstallation still 24 G.

Any idea on how to clean my hard drive and recover the space? :wha

Im with you I dont like it either and probably never WILL... It is not in
control panel under add/remove programs if it is I surely dont see it.. I
would like to get it off my system for good. I cant even get into some of my
programs beacuse of this

In my recent wanderings of newsgrous souch as this the common theme of
this thread seemed to be that SP2 is not a problem if you have a
stable OS.

I would advise against unistalling SP2. For some reason it loses a
vital link to a file, sometimes 2, which is what causes it to
constantly reboot. My recent experiences have made me have to do a
comlete istall.
One options that worked last time (which was not my on PC, by the way)
is boot from the OS CD and select Repair which is almost like a new
install (it did ask for a product key and forced me to active before
allowing me log on).
The one good thing about this was I did not have ro re-install all the
applications. If you have enough disk space create a restore point
that will at least get you back to try again.
