Hello Blue Evil .
May I know how you <accidentally> reinstalled Windows . It is a long process
requiring user intervention and if user didn't answer the questions , it
wouldn't have been done .
What PA Beat suggests you is inappropriate in my <own> opinion because your
Windows , I mean , Service Pack is damaged . If you attempt to get it from
Windows Update you can damage your Windows even more .
The site that tells you your SP2 is there just checks some things about it .
SP2 files are still there but obviously not working as expected .
I would suggest you back-up your most important data and reinstall Windows
with full format of the hard drive to fully ensure your computer is ok .

Installing Service Pack 2 after that:
