Becasue i have Windows XP Professional
is there a specific version of service pack 2 for Pro users??
How many service pack 2's are there?
or can service pack 2 work for both home edition & pro...

That's all perfectly normal ... there is only 1 SP2 ... your computer is behaving as it should ... if you let the Microsoft Screen Saver kick in it will still say XP Professional :)

There is a Service Pack 1a and 1b available.
1a came out a long time ago, probably over 2 years ago, and Service Pack 1b came out after MS was required to change how Windows treats it's Internet Explorer and other add-on applications that are pre-installed due to their Anti-Trust lawsuit.
I would suggest using the 1b as it lets you un-install things you couldn't previously, plus all the latest security updates are included with that as well.
Good Luck
