Strange, SP3 is faster. Anyway, there are several ways of removing it. One is through the CP and Add/Remove programs. Another, the KB uninstall folder. Many times when you remove an M$ update/patch you'll get that warning for programs that were installed after the update was installed. Generally it may not mean anything, but sometimes you may have to reinstall the program. First I would look for other causes of the slowdown. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "LarryB" My system at work has slowed down quite a bit and I wonder if it is because I installed SP 3 back in May. My question is can I uninstall it thru the add/remove programs without too much trouble? I started to uninstall and it said several programs might not work if I did this.(one of them was ERUNT) Could be scare tactics I suppose. Need an opinion.
