If you backed up the files before you installed this leaked copy it's in
your Add/Remove Programs. if not, format and reinstal Windows.
 
How do I remove sp2?

This implies that you've already installed it, which is impossible. SP2 has
not been released yet. If you are talking about Pre-SP2 hotfixes, you can
use Add/Remove Programs (accesible from the Control Panel) to do this.
 
Then you mean Service Pack 1. Service Pack 2 will not be released until
next year. Now if you mean Pre-SP2 HotFixes, they are listed in the
Add/Remove Control Panel.
 
OK..these are hotfixes...can these cuase communications
problems in Word with peer-peer systems not having the
hotfixes?
 
Yes..

"Hotfixes" are the updates you installed from the Windows Update
website. Do not be tempted to remove them or you will uninstall
the actual updates.

If you wish to safely remove the "uninstall files" for the
Hotfixes (i.e. $NtUninstallQxxxxxx$ files shown in Windows Explorer)
and cleanup your Add/Remove Programs list, visit MS-MVP Doug Knox's
excellent website for instructions.

Greetings --

Wait roughly 6 to 8 months for it to be released, elect to archive
the old system files when you install it, and then remove it using the
Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet.
