    You should have waited before uninstalling SP3. When a new service pack is installed and the PC is restarted, it usually takes a little bit of time for Windows to install and verify and configure the new service pack. Since the service pack was uninstalled in safe mode, there's a good chance that it didn't uninstall completely or correctly. You should try to reinstall it, then uninstall it (if necessary) in normal mode. Or try a system restore to a date before the problem started, or try a safe repair install using your Windows install disc. Here's a guide to performing a safe install: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxprepair1_2.htm
