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

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).

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)..

Everything is updated as of July 12th (latest WinUpdates)

Service pack 2 will say ...2600.xp_2... rather than ...xpsp... without

the
underscore 2.

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?
