I have a missing file that is preventing me from uninstalling SP2.

While uninstalling SP2 it needs a file named xpsp2res.dll.000! I searched for
it and found xpsp2res.dll in the $NtServicePackUninstall$ but it won't accept
it and it cancels the uninstall. What should I do?

Have you tried copying the file to the Windows/System32 folder?

There should be one located in Windows\Servicepackfiles\i386
