Can I uninstall Windows service pack 2?

whateveryousay · Feb 3, 2008

Since no one told me why I lose disk space, have a low virtual memory, get spyware and unable to use certain programs after installing service pack 2 I want to delete it. Is it safe to delete it or do I have to deal with the spyware and my computer shutting down every 15 minutes from low virtual memory forever? My computer worked perfect before I installed win service pack 2 and now it is ruined.

Hi

Well if you followed this advice http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1102495&postcount=11 and did not read the warning that,

Installing SP2 leaves a lot of space on hard disk taken up by files you would only ever need if you were to uninstall it. Once you are sure you are happy with it:
Click to expand...

Then no you now have no route to uninstall SP2, so will have to go throught the route of removing any malware from your PC.

As for loosing disk space and getting low virtual memory, this can happen if your running older none compatible SP2 software, or have malware.

also note you wont be able to get any security updates as sp2 is required by microsoft to get updates.
