I Installed windows update Service pack 3 and immediately lost my ability to
create a print window in my CAD program using ANY printer. The "position
print window" button does nothing. I can print in other programs do not
require the print window. I also lost my ability to restore my computer to
an earlier date. |

I'm guessing that you are talking about "an earlier date" as being before
SP3. If you want to get rid of SP3 then go to Add/Remove Software and
uninstall SP3.

The date and time was 9/11/2008 10:49 AM, and on a whim, Home Designer
Dave pounded out on the keyboard:

Hi Dave,
Haven't personally experienced any issues installing SP3 on dozens of
workstations, but there are instances of problems.
In Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, click the "Show Updates" and
scroll down to Windows Service Pack 3 and click the Remove button.

Getting rid of the SP3 was what it took to solve my problems.
This is what I used:
1. Click Start, click Run, type
c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe in the Open box,
and then click OK.
2. When the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Removal Wizard starts, click Next.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to remove Windows XP SP3.
This cleared away SP3 and I have noticed no ill affect.
Thanks for the response
