The sequence is like this:
I installed SP3 and had no trouble doing so, or any
observed irregularities thereafter.
Then HP told me to upgrade the ATI BIOS in my Compaq
Presario, and I did.
Now the bad Some of the USB ports are now invisible,
and HP and AMD say that's because I never upgraded to .NET
Framework 2.0. I had 2.0 a while back and uninstalled it
because of incompatibility with other software. It seems
there's no way to live stably in this electronic world.
I pulled one of my pre-SP3 clones into service, and it works
with the old BIOS and I'm thinking of uninstalling SP3 from
my Master Drive, along with the 'upgraded' BIOS. In truth,
my system was not broke, and it didn't need fixing with
either SP3 or the upgraded BIOS.
So my question is, is there a safe, convenient, reasonable
way to uninstall SP3? I see it in Add/Remove Programs...is
that all there is, just Remove it there? Will that put me
back just as XP was before I installed SP3?
