Jim, we had several here that we had to uninstall SP2. The uninstall completed without problem (as far as we can tell).

>I upgraded to SP2 on my fully up-to-date XP Pro SP1 system last Sunday.
>
>Since then, all kinds of trouble.
>Not only irritations like having to stop the "firewall" to use my VPN connections, but FREEZES that occur randomly with no apparent pattern behind them.
>
>I've searched Google (not good at it) and I have found a bit about freezes in SP2, but all I could come up with was that adware/spyware is usually the cause and one involving some driver release for NERO (which i don't run).
>
>I've disabled things like the firewall, vurus scanner, even a NDAS drive I have. Still get freezes.
>The most oddball other thing that I have running all the time is SKYPE, and I have had 2 freezes while I was using it.
>I've even had a immediately after bootup from another freeze. I haven't gone a day without 1 freeze, and usually 2-4 daily!
>
>The freeze is a genuine freeze - NOTHING works at all.
>
>Has anyone successfully removed SP2 from your system(s)????
>
>UPDATE: Had another freeze shortly after writing this so restored to pre-SP2 using System Restore. Crossing my fingers.
>
>Thanks
