Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall SP1? After installing
SP1, my computer won't boot up. I think SP1 caused this
problem(according to some"experts". I tried to go to
add/remove programs, but it is not there. I do know it is
installed.
 
Scott;
If the option is not in Add/Remove Programs, you did not chose the
option to save the files so SP1 can not be uninstalled.
You can perform a Repair Installation which will remove ALL Windows
Updates including SP1:

Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
