my mate just downloaded and installed SP2 and it comes up with this message "setup Could not verify the integrity of the file update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic services is running on this computer" . any ideas what the problem is?

Have you checked Services to ensure that Cryptographic Services is running?

How would he go about doing that?

is it in the services log under administration tools?

Yip Control Panel>Admin Tools>Services.

Possibly a corrupt download. I would try downloading SP2 again and attempt to reinstall it - at least that would rule out that possibility.

Did you download it straight from Microsoft?

The only time I downloaded SP2 from MS it was corrupt. Try the one on Softpedia instead.
