Yes

The easiest way is to order a CD from Microsoft (it is free) but it takes
1-3 weeks to get it although the website says it takes longer than that.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
The fastest way is to uninstall SP2 using "Control Panel -> Add/Remove
Programs" and then go to Windows Update and SP2 will be reinstalled.

Almost any DVD authoring program will do that but the good ones aren't free.
However they do offer free trials which you can use to create your slideshow
DVD's.
There's a list of the most popular ones on my website in the "DVD Programs"
section.
