I have SP2 installed, but it does not show up in the ADD or REMOVE listing and I would like to remove it, in order to re-install my WIN XP home Edition with the original CD I received when I bought my PC..how and where can I uninstall SP2 if it cannot be found. And YES, It IS installed...
Thank you...
Sincerely,
Apeke

Oops. Dumb mistake. In the above comment I'm confusing XP SP2 with Office SP2. Wish I could take it back

Sorry.

George

I was drawn into this issue of SP2 having 2 versions when showing my daughter (who had a new Dell computer with MS Office, Student and Teacher edition installed) how to use Disk cleanup. My own version of MS Office Pro is 2002; hers is 2003, I guess, judging from what I found next. I showed her how to bring up disk cleanup and she had a file category: Office setup files, that my older machine does not offer. Close to 300 MB of space was at stake. Still, her machine had an obscenely huge hard disk and since I didn't know if it was safe to erase these files, I recommended that she leave them alone until she _knew_ they could go. The first clear reference I found on the web was:
http://www.azacc.org/windows_cleanup.htm

It insists that 2 versions of SP2 exist: A "client version" (50 MB) and a "Full file" (100 MB), and that if one has the Client Version, then it might be best not to clean the Office setup files out.
Would you care to comment?
