SP2 is it suppose to be installed on a clean install

Hi all
Service pack 2 has been around for a while but for other languages its three days old. Last night I installed the finn version it went smooth but too many errors when excuting programs
( like:couldn't create file C:/document and settings/ my login name/%userprofile%/local settings/Temp/Xp.corona.ini)
or when shut down
( like: unknown software exception 0xc0000008 application bla bla 0x7c964ed) also it seems that XP lost its way in finding Temp folder(in document and settings) and when
start>run and type
%temp%
I get error rather than temp folder.
So is SP2 suppose to be installed on a clean install or have I done some thing wrong
