This laptop is used mainly on business trips for internet but I have an extra copy of XP and am contemplating using it. It will run. So can Roseanne Barr, but you wouldn't like the results. 2005 Subaru Legacy \| Ban Them Forever

Once this is done, if you try to use the â�?��?Removeâ�?��?� for Service Pack 2 in Add/Remove Programs, that will fail and will offer to delete the entry. # There may also be a large folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download, depending on how you did the installation. That can be deleted also. # Check that the installationâ�?��?�s temporary folder got properly removed. It will be on the drive where you downloaded the setup files (probably C:) and will have a long name of random letters. If it is still around, delete it. And burn the downloaded file to a CD so as to have it if you ever need to reinstall. # There will also be a large folder C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles. Do not delete this â�?��?� it will be used in future by Windows File Protection â�?��?� but on an NTFS disk you can compress it to save about 200MB of disk space. Right-click on it, select Properties, click the Advanced button, and select Compress.

I have removed them from some machines without issues but I tend to redo my computers every year or so so I might just have not run into the issues.
