Does anyone know how to un-install this. I am currently using america online because service pack2 messed up my internet explorer. Everytime I came to this website the explorer would just shut down. if anyone can help it would be great. I am using aol, but don't want to have to pay for it when I can use exploerer for free.

Unfortunately Micorsoft sucks and so does IE. You can not really uninstall SP2 that easily.

A better option for you right now is go get Firefox and use that as your default browser. IE sucks. Firefox is the future. Get it here:

uninstalling sp2 wouldn't solve anything i guess.

sp2 works just fine.

  1. Disable windows firewall --> Control Panel / Firewall, Disable (i guess, i have spanish version of win xp)
  2. get firefox ---> [url]http://www.getfirefox.com[/url]
  3. look in mercury engine ---> [url]http://www.mercuryengine.com[/url]

SP2 caused me a shitload of trouble when i first installed it, so i did a format, then installed SP1 & 2 first before anything else, disabled all the crap that comes with it (security centre, pop-up blocker etc.) and everything is fine now, a lot of grief i know, but hey :wink:

but if you can't be fucked to format...... [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875350[/url]

Slipstream SP2 then do a complete system reinstall. Then everyting should run smooth as a baby's ass.

I prefer IE to firefox, but Opera is my favourite.

I haven't tried firefox out yet, I guess maybe I should.

I have yet to install SP2 though, stupid bubble keeps popping up for me and I want to stab it!

I think you can set auto updates to ignore certain updates if you're really going to not install it
