How do I find out what maintenance level (service pack) I'm on with Windows
XP Professional? The only thing I find in ControlPanel, System is that I'm
running WinXP Professional Version 2002. No service pack level is
mentioned. Does this mean I'm running base OS with no SP's, or do I need to
be looking somewhere else?

There has only been a single Service Pack so far. If it doesn't
say "Service Pack 1" on the screen you mention, you don't have it
installed.
