If you have problem download the SP2 thru window updates, you can download it here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
Close all apps running in backgrounds like anti-virus, firewall,...before install the SP2.

Do a good computer cleaning before trying to download SP2.
Clean your browser cache. Go to Tools>Internet Options>General Tab>Delete the Cookies, Temp Files (in the window check to delete Offline content) and Clear History.
Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup. Run it. Check every box and click OK.
Close all running programs, including the Browser. Go to Start>Run>type: %temp%>OK. In this window go to the menu to EDIT>Select All> now delete all the Temp Windows files (not the same as temp files in Internet Option).
Clean your Prefetch files: Start>Run>type: prefetch> do as above to delete.
Follow the path for Disk Cleanup and select the Disk Defragment. Defrag the HD even if it says it does not need it.

The best way to install sp2 is when you have freshly re-installed windows.
