I dont understand this as im using SQL SERVER 2008 ( R2 ) version 10.50.1600.

Well you probably installed too many sql server and forgot to uninstall a sql 2008 version.

sql 2008 = Version 10.00.1600
sql 2008 R2 = Version 10.50.1600

You say you have 2008 R2 installed so you probably have selected the wrong sql instance.
