me the cd so I have to find another way to get rid of sp3 beta..It hangs on
shutdown, many programs wont update ie: quicktime and more, and some programs
wont uninstall. How do I get rid of the beta version?

I have tried that several times in safe mode and normal. It wont uninstall.
It says cant locate sp3 file and cant uninstall. I have used sp3 for several
months so I cant do a system restore due to the time.
