Service Pak 2 corrupts you ISP and Microsoft Explorer, and there is not way
to uninstall the SP2 once its installed in your system. You can't delet the
file no matter how you try....Microsoft Must be laughing at there little
small cubicls...

Service Pack 2 cannot corrupt your ISP. Your Internet Service Provider is
not affected by what you install on your computer - at least not in this
case. Perhaps your settings to connect to your ISP or the extra security
features that were turned on when you installed SP2 caused you trouble - but
they should have been easily worked around without sacrificing too much of
the new security you gained from SP2. Perhaps if you described your
specific problem in this category, we could assist you.

As for it messing up Microsoft Explorer - not that I have seen - my
computers can all still see their hard drives and CD/DVD drives as they did
before SP2. If you mean Internet Explorer - perhaps this is related to the
above confusing statement you made? Specifics, again, will greatly help
someone here help you.

As for there being no way to uninstall SP2, you missed the boat on that one.
Here are two ways:

From the hidden $NtServicePackUninstall$ folder

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type the following in the open textbox:
c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe
4. Click OK
5. The removal wizard will start to walk you through the removal.

From the Add or Remove Programs Section:

1. Open the Control Panel
2. Click the Add or Remove Programs Icon
3. Click the Show Updates checkbox
4. Scroll down and select Windows XP Service Pack 2
5. Click Remove

It's not a single file.. Of course you cannot just "delete it".

I'm pretty sure the Microsoft employees mostly have large cubicles to sit in
and laugh at your post.
 
SP2 Does not corrupt your ISP and Internet Explorer. SP2 can very easily be
uninstalled, as long as the installation instructions are followed. Don't
listen to idiots like Robert who spew garbage and couldn't get a fact
straight if his life depended on it.

(I have installed SP2 on 28 different computers of varying configuration and
vintage and have had no issues, possibly because I took the time to read the
installation instructions and prepared the machines I installed it on).

unfortunate
the only thing i can think of is that you've installed
sp2 and set the securaty so tight that it will not allow
you to access the net
assuming that you mean internet access when stateing ISP


you have to ask yourself
do you have a non microsoft firewall installed ?
have you set the securaty to a useable level
do you access your isp over a local network
thease may affect how the pc accesses your isp/internet


things to try

ring your isp thay should be able to help
create a new connection (or use your isp's install disk)

it is advised to install sp2

i canot help any more as you would have to provide
details of what isnt working ? is it total loss of
internet , is it a skin setting that dosnt work ???? what
is corrupt ???

Another person that blames some one else for their mistakes. As far as he
knows that for preperation for SP2 his ISP changed something. Or is this one
of those fly by night ISP's that will blame every one else as well.
