I just installed Symantec Norton 360 3.0 and ran its diagnostic report. The results surprised me as it told me I did not have the latest service pack. I am running Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3, or at least, I thought I was.
The key section of the report:

A few months ago I performed a Windows repair installation, which likely left a number of incorrect registry values.
I have since installed Service Pack 3 and Windows Update gives me no further updates, but going into the system properties window also tells me that my system is:
Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
At the moment, this doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but I'd still like to fix it.
How can I make sure that my computer does indeed have Service Pack 3? If it does, how can I get my computer to recognize that it does?
