Hello guys, i need help on how to uninstall the MS service pack 3. First, let me give you the details on what i've tried to do but failed to uninstall it.
1. I'm an admin of my pc.
2. Used the add or remove programs.
3. Software Update removal tool of sp3 runs.
4. Then, "Service Pack 3, the system cannot find the file specified".
5. Service pack 3 was not uninstalled.
I googled some tips, it said try reinstalling it again(which i did) and checking something like enabling the uninstall option but somehow i can't find it during the installation process.
Please help, thanks!
OS- MS windows media center
Pentium D 3ghz

What is the problem that makes you believe you need to uninstall SP3?

I was hoping you won't ask that.
Alot of my friends said that it's not good, and since my automatic update was on i was able to install it. So now i'm trying to get rid of it eventhough i have no slightest idea what's wrong.

Agreed. You have dumb friends.
And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Leave it installed, your computer will be better off and you can laugh at them when they keep having problems that SP3 fixed for you.
Being up-to-date on security is far wiser than not getting a service pack or hotfixes.

well, I agree with Moriz - just tell your friends that a little more nicely or they may not remain your friends. lol SP3 for XP is very nice imo, it actually increases the performance of some programs and there is definitly nothingi wrong with it. 
If it ain't broke leave it alone.
