Vista - Uninstall Language Packs in Windows Vista ULtimate (x86)

I am usinf the English version of Windows Vista Ultimate and some months ago
I have downloaded and installed the Greek and portoguese language packs. I
have never used them so I decided to uninstall them in order to install Vista
SP1.

Unfortunatelly although the uninstallation process starts it never completes.

I have also tried the hotfix mentioned in another post with no success.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

go back in time via System Recovery. If that isn't possible format and
reinstall the vista OS.

I have followed the procedure you describe. The problem is that it does not
work, in my case.

Thanks
