Hey eb
I see in general properties of my computer that
current service pack for my operating system (winXP pro) is 1.
Also in control's panel add/remove programs i see a list of many hotfixes
that relate to sp2.
So i am confused - is it possible to install hotfixes to a service pack that
isn't installed by itself on a computer?
Or sp2 must be installed prior to instalation of any of its hotfixes, and
the service pack property in my computer isn't updated?
How can i know for sure which service pack is installed
on my computer?
What happens if the original sevice pack 2 is installed
after some of its hotfixes had been installed?
Would these hotfixes need to be installed again?
Thanks for your attention
Rea

If SP2 is installed:

Start | Run | Type: winver | Click OK
If it says Service Pack 1, you do not have SP2.
If it says Service Pack 2, you have SP2.

Windows Security Center (wscui.cpl) will exist.
Start | Run | Type: wscui.cpl | Click OK |
Windows Security Center will open if SP2, you'll get an error if not SP2.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be listed in Add or Remove Programs.

$NtServicePackUninstall$ will be in %windir% or C:\WINDOWS (There may be one
of these folders that relates to SP1)

Hope this helps. Let us know.
