You likely have Windows XP with Service Pack 1 and POST Service Pack 1
Updates (Labeled with SP2 in the names) installed.

Start -> Run
tye in:

winver

It will tell you what version you are running. If it is Version 5.1 (Build
2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service Pack 1) --> Then you are fully patched and
doing fine. SP2 has not been released yet.

It is SP1 and SP2, not xp 1 & 2. Hotfixes after SP1 was released carry the
SP2 designation and will be included into the SP2 service pack when it is
released.
To see what version you have, look on the general tab of system properties.
[Winkey+Pause/Break].

SP2 is not out, and you need to set your time zone, it is set for the
Pacific time zone and it looks like you are located in Australia.
