Re: Cannot uninstall windows XP service pack 2

I realize that it will not appear in control panel when booted in Win2K. My
remark was in response to Andrew's comment.

I have multiple boot choices for my computer, but now I cannot boot up XP
Professional in any mode since performing my last automatic update on
05/06/05. The initial XP logo screen will come on during the boot, but then
the screen will go blank and the computer hangs up.

The article I pointed out suggests several methods of working around this
problem, which I have tried but have not been successful yet. I appreciate
any suggestions you may have to offer.
