Can someone help me figure out how to REMOVE the automatic updated SP3? it is
NOT compatible with LOTS of hardware I discovered today with the help of 3
LIVE agents (after 3hours of work). We are STILL working on the issue, but
I'd like to get it done asap. We tried a system restore and that will not
even work...Any idea??? HELP!

System restore would not do this, that's not what it is for. Simply
uninstall it via Add/remove Programs

Or, follow the directions here:

What hardware do you think it's incompatible with?

System restore sometimes only works in Safe Mode.
