service pak 2 not listed in programs

I tried to download Service Pack 2 but was sent a pop-up that I already have
it installed on my computer. I can not find it. It is not listed on my
updates history, not is it listed when I try to view all programs. How do I
find it and see when it was installed onto my compurter?

My computer downloaded service pak 2 but can not install how can you help me.
Upto 7 more updates have refused to install.

Perhaps it came already installed on your computer?
Right Click on "My Computer" and look at properties.

preinstalled, Darlene.
