I made the mistake of installing SP2 and have problems. When I go to Add/Rmove programs to remove it, it's not there. My OS is MS Home. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

SP2 has been out for awhile now. Whatever your, "problems" are, someone has likely already experienced and fixed them. Personally I think you are better off addressing the problems you are experienceing since installing SP2 as opposed to just trying to remove it. Just my $.02

When you installed the service pack, did you tell it you did not want the uninstall files? If so, the only way of removing it is to wipe your hard disk!

Much too late now, but always backup before installing MS updates. Often they are not uninstallable and if they are, there are parts that do not uninstall such as updated DLL files.
 
My suggestion as stupid as it sounds would be to simply go back to windows update and get all of the updates since sp2 came out I just did a fresh install the other day with one without sp2 and after sp2 was put on there was over 150 updates to get more then likely one of those fixes will stop your problem.!
