Works fine on my system. Start a new kernel, then evaluates the
following expressions:
In[1]:=
$Version
Out[1]=
5.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 20, 2005)
In[2]:=
Remove[SphericalPlot3D]; (* Just in case you have some conflicting
definition automatically loaded during the initialization *)
Needs["Graphics`ParametricPlot3D`"];
SphericalPlot3D[2, {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, -Pi, Pi}];
