Unfortunately, I installed SP2 before reading the caveats...After huge
problems, I immediately uninstalled using install/uninstall programs and my
computer ran better. I'm still having problems with my computer and just
recently realized they go back to my install of SP2. I read where one user
was directed to use system restore to go back to before the installation.
How is this accomplished and what files, mail, etc. will it eliminate with
it? Also, I don't remember the date of my install, so was the SP2 auto
update sent out to every user at the same date, and what was that date? If
not how can I find the date to go back?
