You may well still be able to download the SP and re-apply it. Microsoft used to recommend reapplying service packs after any major system change such as a hardware change or major application install. Don't think they do any more but if something you installed has overwritten one of the updated service pack files it *may* be causing your issue

I have dreams like that I really do - but that said I can rebuild a base server in about 2 hours now lol
