To see if you have SP2 right click on "My Computer" icon and click on
"Genersl" tab (if not already selected). Your operating system version
including any SP numbers should be shown there.

IE7 requires XP SP2, so if you've had IE7 for months then that's at least
the length of time you've had SP2. So it sounds like a recent install of SP2
can't be the cause of your problem.

To stop having to sign back in after your screensaver activates, go to
Control Panel Display Screen Saver tab and remove the tick from "On
resume, password protect".

Right click a blank spot on the desktop and choose Properties.
Under Screen Saver you can choose whether or not to display the Welcome
Screen when coming back from screen saver.
