The upgrade SP2 file is quite large and with dial-up the download will take a year and a half to complete. Like was mentioned the download could have failed and may have created issues If you had the SP2 upgrade already installed why click to install it again. There is enough issues with this upgrade as it is and it's a no brainer to go look for trouble with this.
The Windows XP SP2 upgrade CD is available from Microsoft at no cost, just pay for the shipping. If your not careful you may foul things up to the point where you may have to reload Windows, not a walk in the park.
I suggest that when and if you get an XP upgrade SP2 CD that you uninstall SP2 if you can, then clean up the PC and prepare it for the upgrade. Then install the upgrade via the CD.
