Do I have SP2?

[MikeK]

How do I check if a machine running XP Home, which is not currently connected
to the internet, has SP2 installed?

Hi

Either type

winver

from Start>Run or right click on My Computer and select Properties. Either
option will inform you as to whether you have SP2 installed or not.

Three ways:
If the start-up splash screen does NOT say which version of XP you have, or:
Right-click on My Computer and select Properties or:
In Windows Explorer click on Help-About.

Hi, Mike.

<Win>+<Break>

In other words, hold down the Windows logo key and press the Pause/Break
key. The System Properties window should pop up in your face. Under
System, it should say what (if any) Service Pack is installed.

The other suggestions are good, but I prefer this short'n'sweet pop-up. ;<)
