Hi,
If SP2 would not change anything on the video card, unless you had an older
driver. When you installed SP2, you should make sure you also have the
updated drivers for any hardware. But as for video card settings, you can
go and manually check them to see if anything was changed and adjust them
yourself. That doesn`t give you a good enough reason to uninstall
something, especially a service pack. Most people make the mistake and jump
the gun thinking its the service pack. You should have done basic
troubleshooting before doing something major, removing the service pack.
This forum is a good place to start, you could have stated that problem and
many of the MVP`s and others could have given you suggestions on what to
try, where to look. Please try that next time, before unistalling
something.
