Windows XP official version numbers
Well, the question is simple, how do I know what exactly
version of Windows XP/Service Pack is installed on a computer? I read about "methods" in this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888162. But I have the following: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp.050301-1526:Service Pack 1)! According to the article it should be SP2, but it clearly says SP1! Next, on the other machine I have just "Version 5.1 (Build 2600)". What does this mean? Is the there any place/site with the official (from Microsoft) list(s) of version numbers? |
Hi Nick,
To find out the version of WindowsXP that is installed, go to Start - Run and type Winver then press enter. Windows Service Pack Road Map http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lif...vicepacks.mspx You can order SP2 free from MS: You can order Windows XP Service Pack 2 on CD from MS for Free: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx Or it can be downloaded from MS (272mb's): Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 2 for IT Professionals and Developers: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Or it can be obtained through Windows Update. http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Service Pack Installation http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm Cleaning Up after Installing SP2 - MVP Alex Nichol http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_s.htm#cleanup -- Regards, Bert Kinney MS-MVP Shell/User http://bertk.mvps.org Nick Fl wrote: Well, the question is simple, how do I know what exactly version of Windows XP/Service Pack is installed on a computer?

Service pack 2 will say ...2600.xp_2... rather than ...xpsp... without the
underscore 2. "Nick Fl" wrote: Well, the question is simple, how do I know what exactly version of Windows XP/Service Pack is installed on a computer?

My WinXppro/FI says:(winver)
Version 5.1 (koontiversio 2600.xpsp2.050301-1526: Service Pack 1) And as it says, I have only SP1, because something is causing BSODs (at first boot, also in SafeMode, most probably my TVtuner card) if I try to install it (SP2)..

Sounds like you have an incomplete/unsuccessful install of SP2. Several
things can cause SP2 to fail--spyware/malware among them. You might try MS's tool for removal of TV Media (the one I've seen most often cause BSOD with SP2).

NO, I have NOT installed SP2 on this computer.
I have tried a few times to install SP2, got BSODs, and then restored an image to have a functioning system. (No TVMedia here..) I am thinking of making a clean install, but (with all additional progs) that will take a day or two, and even then I usually forget some progs or tweaks (TweakUI and different services settings..) I need/want... Version 5.1 (koontiversio 2600.xpsp2.050301-1526: Service Pack 1) This most likely is because ALL and EVERY update from WinUpdate EXCEPT SP2 is done -- Tumppi Reply to group ================================================= Most learned on nntp://news.mircosoft.com Helsinki, Finland (remove _NOSPAM) (translations from FI/SE not always accurate) ================================================= "Kathea Banshou" kirjoitti viestissä ...
