Default Do I have SP2?

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 StartRun 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. ;)
