I'm trying to uninstall XP Service Pack 3
I'm trying to uninstall Windows XP Service Pack 3 from my laptop. I went on the site of microsoft and tried all different methods. Method 1 did not show a Windows XP Service Pack 3. Method 2 says "file not found". Method 3 was only in April 2012. I do not know the Service Pack has been installed before this, but I don't know when. I did a search of file for spuninst and found 142 records. 141 of them were in the folder Windows/Software/Distribution/download. The last was in system32 folder/Preinstall.
The computer is a Server 2003 and the initial install was XP Service Pack 1. It was used for several years by my daughter, then sat for a few years. I started again in October 2011.
I want to uninstall the Service Pack, because I use a software that does not work properly under XP3. The company said return to XP2 to remove bugs or improve the software to operate with any other operating system. It would cost me a few thousand dollars.
Since I was reinstalling XP Professional SP1 CD, it is possible that I can start all over again?
According to this page, Janome Digitizer 10000 is not officially support in any version of Windows XP (although messages in the community of Janome forums say it works in Windows XP SP2 that you have discovered).
If you have 2 choices:
1 Uninstall SP3 (if possible), continue to use Digitizer 10000 but then never, NEVER connect the computer to internet at all!
2. let SP3 and all post-SP3 installed but purchase updates & install (or upgrade to) Janome Digitizer Pro/MB (or higher). [I found upgrades for as little as USD via Google $499].
Note: Depending on where you bought the Windows XP computer, it might have are with WinXP SP3 preinstalled. If this is the case, you cannot uninstall SP3.
Since it really has nothing to do with features of Windows Update, you would be better to start your own, new topic in this forum for assistance-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system
Good luck!

Can I uninstall the Service Pack 3 on a computer preloaded with XP Professional/SP3?
I need to uninstall the Service Pack 3 of a delivered computer pre-loaded with Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. Is this possible? I read the support page for this, but to see if there is a difference between having SP3 preinstalled or updated through the windows update process.
No, unless Windows XP Service Pack 3 is listed in Add/Remove Programs, right.

Error code: 0x2B33 trying to auto update service pack 4
I am unable to download service pack 4. These failures have been underway for months and I was not able to solve. Help
Chris
... Service Pack 4 for what, exactly?
There is no Service Pack 4 for the Windows XP operating system (which is the group you posted in). SP3 was the last. He was once a piece of malware that mascaraded in Service Pack 4, but if that's what you're trying to get, I think that you really don't want it.

FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.
Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
Install it.
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
Install it.
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
Download Internet Explorer 7 (otherwise Internet Explorer 8) at least on your desk.
Install it.
Reset.
Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.
Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
