OS:windows xp professional version 2002 service pack 2

I recently had problems with my pc, ran chkdsk(or whatever the program is
that runs before windows starts), got a lot of errors and eventually had the
drive replaced with a new one and what i thought was the latest version of xp
pro(see OS at top). However this version does not show my minimized
programs, nor does it allow me to move the task bar to the side, top etc. If
i dont have the latest version(im gonna go kill the pc guy) can I download it
and install or do i have to go back to the shop and have it installed by the
pc guy(who i will still kill )?

Thanks in advance

Take it back to the shop.
