If SP2 is not installed it should be offered by windows update when you go
to that site and do a custom scan. I would suggest, however, that you
download the full version, burn it to CD, and use that to install SP2.
Disregard where it states "is intended for IT professionals and developers
downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network..." It works
fine for a single install. It is a large download so if you are on dialup
it would be wiser to order the SP2 CD or see if someone has one. They were
given away free when SP2 first came out.

Here is a link to the download, a link to a site where you can order the SP2
CD for the cost of shipping, and some links with info about installing
service packs.
