Thanks for that Paul, have decided to go for it and install SP 2 now.

Search for the installation error code in the Windows Update Troubleshooter
Step 1: Locate the installation error code

First, we will ask you to locate the installation error code that your computer recorded when the installation failed. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
On the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site, click Review your update history. A window opens that shows all the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.
In the Status column of this window, locate the update that failed to install, and then click the red X.
A new window opens that displays the installation error code.
Note the error number.
Smee thanks also for your reply. I tried what you said, but it didn't work. So took the bull by the horns and installed SP 2, then tried again, but still no joy. So instead I have hidden the updates, out of sight out of mind, hopefully.
