Applying a service pack updates the version number.  Are you able to display the SQL version number?  You can use the management interface, then Help-->About, or >try this< (https://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/sql/srvmgmt/sqlsrvvb02.mspx?mfr=true).  Then try >this< (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321185) knowledgebase article.

Does that help?

Please bear in mind that this is a volunteer service, and you will often have to wait for someone with the requisite knowledge to log on.  I happen to be up with one of my twins (it's 4.50am).  I won't be back online for a while, but others will be later.

<-----------------------

Please keep in mind that there was exactly 15 MINUTES between your first post and the second, complaining that you hadn't been helped.

As Rob says, usually someone is around but someone who has time to help with a big issue, is interested and has the knowledge...well that takes a little longer. The price to you is still free, however.  ;)


A simple google search for "what version SQL running turned up over 29 MILLION hits. This was the first:
