Re: how can i know if winXP sp2 is installed??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You do not have SP2 but you have SP1. All the hotfixes that are listed with
SP2 in the names are/were to be included in SP2 release version. This is why
that if you were to look at the list, on a SP2 PC, you will not see them.


This is the same thing that will occur when you have completed the SP2
installation. Any hotfixes that have SP3 listed in their names, will be
included as part of SP3 release version (sometime next year??)
