Guest George Niforos Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I am preparing to install XP SP 3 but I have a concern. I regularly install Windows updates and a year and a half ago I installed KB911280 which fixes a security hole related to dialup access only. I was told by Microsoft to uninstall the KB911280 update which solved my problem. My question now is since Service Pack 3 is cumulative it will install KB911280 again. Will I be able to uninstall KB911280 in any way after SP 3 is installed? When KB911280 was installed via Windows update I was able to find it in "Add/Remove Programs" and remove it. Will it be listed there after SP 3 installation so that it may be removed in the same way?
Guest Unknown Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Re: SP 3 It may or may not be. It is not listed on my add/remove list and I did NOT remove it. However why worry? If you have a problem SP3 is very easily removed.

Guest ANONYMOUS Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Re: SP 3 Hotfix KB911280 is already included in SP3 so you don't have to worrry about it. If you uninstall SP3, then you will also uninstall that hotfix. For a list hotfixes included in SP3, have a look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480/ hth George Niforos wrote: > I am preparing to install XP SP 3 but I have a concern.
