Anyone help me please?

Answer 1

Sometimes you cant remove service pack 3 but it should create a restore point on the system before updating,



Go to Start > All Programmes > System Tools > System Restore

Answer 2

Before installing SP3 the system takes a backup of the entire system. If you want to go back to the previous version (rollback) you need to restore the system to the previous version. You need to uninstall the Windows XP service pack 3 from your system.



If XP SP3 is installed in your system , it will be listed under

Control Panel-----> Add or Remove Programs

Answer 3
