I've tried the fix as outlined but I can't seem to get rid of Hot Fix KB834707.

I clearly have incomplete SP2 install - had errors on install and in trying to
recover/uninstall the SP2.

Can I uninstall SP2 even if KB834707 isn't gone?
Why doesn't KB834707 uninstall? It seems to run OK although after I click
finish, it automatically shuts down and reboots the PC. I usually expect it
to ask me before it reboots - that seems a little odd.
