Did you ever install XP SP3 on your computer, and regret you did it? SP3 is really slow, bad performance, and less compatible. Now you try to uninstall it, but the uninstaller was deleted. What do you do? I found another way to remove SP3 from your XP, but you'll need a couple of things. This will not delete anything from your computer, only installs system components. But Internet Explorer will revert back to 6, and some other software came with XP might too.

Requirements:
*XP SP2 CD
*Computer
*CD-ROM

1. Shutdown your PC.
2. Insert your XP SP2 CD into the CD-ROM.
3. When it tells you to press any key to execute the CD, press a key.
4. Wait till it boots into setup. Do not press F6, it's not what we are going to do.
5. Press Enter when it prompts you to.
6. Press F8 to agree to the agreement.
7. Use your up and down cursor, select the partition in which you have your crappy XP SP3 install to. DO NOT PRESS ENTER.
8. Press R to repair.
9. Wait for the setup to copy necessary files.
10. After it's done, it will tell you to press Enter to reboot. Wait, or press Enter.
11. Let it boot into the hard drive, do not boot into the CD.
12. It will now go into setup.
13. Follow onscreen instructions, install, or in this case, revert your XP back to SP2.
14. After it's done, just start your computer like normal, you can eject the CD.

Done! Everything is now like before (Before you reverted back to SP2). Nothing is deleted, you desktop icons, settings, and other crap you have is all in place. Awesome!

Please tell me, why is SP3 slow, and uncompatible?

Exactly.. I've never had any problems with SP3.

I think windows in general sucks, but that's just me. SP3 actually had ran better on my computer as it had certain drivers for my newer hardware that SP2 did and does not have, thus making it work slower or not work at all. I had to use nLite to stick on some drivers on my SP2 CD(yes, 100% mine, legal) and even then, it didn't work right.

Well, for me, it crashes a lot; when I try to plug in my webcam, it gave me BSOD and restarts; it wouldn't install my driver; my display adapter stops working, making the fps rate really low; it's slow as hell; it completely stops for 30 seconds every single time I plug in an USB; it gets stuck on the desktop when I just sign in, I had to use Task Manager to terminate explorer.exe, and run it again; download speed slows down dramatically; my softwares stops working; and a lot of other problems, but I forgot about it because I want to clear my mind of the badness of SP3.

Actually the first time I hate a Microsoft product. Plus, this is a guide for only ones who have problems with SP3, like me. Probably because their computer sucks, like mine. I have an old one: a Dell Latitude D505, 100 GB HD, Intel Celeron M 340 Processor (1.5 Ghz), 2 GB of RAM, Intel 82855 GME Chipset, with only 64 MB of video RAM.

That's probably not the fault of SP3,
But your computer.
I find it hard to believe that SP3 caused all those problems...

Yes, SP3 is really bad on laptops. That's why, cause desktop's usually performs better.

Well, I have a slow-ass laptop laying around here with SP3, and it actually made it quite a bit faster.
