    I am trying to uninstall Vista SP1 but it wont because it keeps on giving me an error saying not all of it can be uninstalled. So i dont know what is going on. is there another way of uninstalling besides the installed updates section??

    Use System Restore instead.

    If system restore does not work, you'll have to reinstall the OS.

    If you had deleted the previous restore points, then the system restore might not work too. Don't mind the error message. Vista gives some crazy error messages sometimes. I think that some of the updates installed as a pre-requisite for SP1 RC can't be uninstalled.
