Microsoft Service Packs integrate so completely with Windows XP that it practically amounts to a new operating system. If you have just installed it, you may be able to roll it back to SP2 using System Restore. The only other practical way to revert is by repairing the XP installation or doing a clean install.

Google "Fred+Langa+refresh+windows+xp" for good instructions. WHichever route you take, back up your critical files to an external drive before you begin.
