Vista SP1 won't uninstall

After I installed Vista SP1, my internet connections disappeared, my Sidebar
doesn't work right, and other problems.
When I tried to uninstall SP1, It would log off, and complete(?) the first
two stages of the service pack uninstall.
Then the computer would reboot, complete the third and final stage...then I
would get the message "Service pack did not uninstall, reverting changes"
I have tried five or six times to uninstall, with the same results. I read
somewhere to disable firewall and antivirius, make sure windows installer is
enabled, then try it again. I don't have an internet connection anymore, so I
will go one step further and uninstall my Norton Internet Security, then try  
these steps.
Does anyone else have any suggestions, besides a drive reformat?

    Have you tried a System Restore?

It is the responsibility and duty of everyone to help the underprivileged
and unfortunate among us.

I set up restore points before I installed the SP, but they vanished after I
installed it.
Also, my wife has a japanese version of XP on another drive (mine is on D,
hers C), I was wondering if I could use her XP restore points?
