Removing Windows Server 2003 SP2 from your computer

When you set a new locale, make sure that you select a locale which is not one of the locales that are listed in the "New locales that Windows Server 2003 SP2 supports" section.
Note Before you remove Windows Server 2003 SP2, you must change the regional options for each user who is using one of the new locales. To change the language that is used for non-Unicode programs for all users, you must log on to the computer as a user who has administrator credentials.
