My desktop PC locked up during XP SP2 install. The System
Information window shows that SP2 has been installed, but
the MS Installation Log says it failed. I can't find
where to re-install XP SP2 from - Windows Update says my
system is up-to-date.

Any thoughts on what I can do to re-install XP SP2?

Do a repair reinstallation of Windows, then retry installing the SP2.
Make sure that no other applications are running at the same time,
specially virus scanners and the like.
