Did you read the warning? The one that is downloadable is for multiple computers at once...

Try reinstalling your Operating System, and wait until Microsoft officially releases SP2 for individual computer use.

The "multiple computer" version is just an offline version of SP2, so you don't have to keep downloading it from WindowsUpdate everytime you format.

Check the properties setting for your taskbar, had the same problem. Thats if you can still see it, i had enought there to right click on it to pull up properties. Check make sure it did not reset your settings.
