That's the wrong place to look if you want the version of Media Center (i.e
the system control panel).
Version 2002 describes the Windows Version, (and not the Media Center
version)
The right place to see the version of Media Center is described here
How to determine the version of Media Center that you are running

I hope you aren't trying to find some solution to make the 2002 in the
System Control Panel become something else, because the way it is shown is
by design. You'd simply be wasting your time trying to fix something that
is being shown as intended.
