SP2 install from CD
What do you mean Windows Update shows it's not installed?
You said you installed it from a CD so why would you expect WindowsUpdate site to have it listed in its Installation History? Go to Start/Run and type in: winver [ENTER] It will tell you the revision of the OS. "Sue" wrote in message ...

If SP2 doesn't show in the History and also doesn't show up as an update to install, I would forget about it. If you can't get past the SP2 update on WU to install new updates (like the fantastically useless GDI+ detection tool), then I would use the WU troubleshooter to start resolution. -- Kent W.
