I installed Service Pack2, but I already had Service Pack 3. My disc space is extremely low & that is the only thing I want to remove, but it won't let me remove S.Pack 2. Also, I removed Seeken, but not sure I should have done that. I have MacAfee security, does Seeken have anything to do with MacAfee? If so, how do I reinstall Seeken?

To remove the left overs from service packs you have to click a box on the control panel add and remove program panel. Something like show service pack or something like that. Then you can remove the left overs.

I doubt you have downleveled it to sp2. See system restore if you actually did it.

Both Service Pack 2 & 3 show up on program list. But it tells me I can't remove either one.

I don't think you can install SP2 after SP3 has been installed. SP3 already contains all the updates that were included in both SP1 and SP2, so you *should* have received some sort of message about it being older than the current SP.
