after installing sp3 I want to uninstall it - IE crashes, computer
freezes.
I ran the add/remove programs and then rebooted and it no longer shows in
the
list of updates, however, if I right click on my computer it still says
SP3 -
how do I get rid of this - restores will not work

I've been reading about this on other groups, and I'm not an expert, but I
don't think you can get rid of it (change back)
People are reporting problems and one had to find some "fix" with the
registry to do just to get the SP3 to go in. She said if I wanted to put it
in she would send me the instructions she got for doing this.
I looked it up (google) and found othes saying the same thing, that it's
hard to put in, doesn't go in alot of times (some said it does no problem)
and then it doesn't work good, they have problems with it. And, the overall
advice is to wait a bit till it gets the bugs out. And, that once you have
it you can't go back.
That's what I'm doing. I get auto downloads for it (don't know what it is
TILL it downloads and wants to instal. I just click the "don't agree" and it
cancels it)
I know this doesn't answer your question and I'm sure those who really
know about it will, just sharing what I've recently learned about it.
