New PC XP SP2 ??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I just got a new emachines PC with XP Home and I don't see any mention of
SP2 being installed. What do I do to find out if it has SP2 from the
factory?
tnx

Go to Start > Run and type: msinfo32.exe , and hit enter.
If SP2 is installed, it will show "5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600"
next to the Version listing.

You can also go to start and run "winver"

Hi, Hank.

My favorite way is to press Win+Break.

That is, hold down the Windows logo key and press Pause/Break. The System
Properties screen should pop up in your face - and there is should say
"Service Pack 2", among other things. ;< )
