That is old news.
If you have Windows XP Home AU could start installing SP-2 any time as
long as you have Automatic Update on.
Windows XP Pro AU installation is delayed until 25 August.

Forget about waiting for Microsoft to offer SP2 through auto update, you can
download SP2 using this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en

Ignore the bit anbout it only being for IT professionals, I have
slipstreamed this version of SP2 with my original installation disk and it
installs fine (with or without the slipstreaming)

Dannie;
That is a common problem today so I asked someone at Microsoft.
I was just informed this seems only to be an issue when you select
"Notify me..." in Automatic Update and they are working on it.
Select the other Automatic Update option and see if it works.
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab
Select "Automatic Recommended"
Click OK and follow prompts
