Hi,

I've installed sp2.  At least I think I have because I went through
windows update and did the express install.  But apart from windows
hotfix sp2 stuff in add/remove I see no other evidence of it.  There is
no control panel\windows security centre and no tools\pop-up blocker in
IE.  Have I missed something?

Thanks

To find out if you have SP 2, go to Control Panel > System > General tab and
read the description under the word "System".

But where IS sp2?  I went through windows update and neither in express
or custom install do I get the sp2 option.  Every lead I follow takes me
back through windows update. Checking what I did yesterday tells me that
I installed -Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 (KB842773)- , don't know whether I needed this.  
Question is - how do I get SP2?

This says sp1.  So the question is, where is sp2?  I went through
windows update and in neither the express or custom installs is there
any mention of sp2.  All other leads take me through win update and the
same path, I still can't see the way through!
