Window Auto Update

I have Windows Auto Update set and have not received SP2 yet. Are they just
doing so many at a time? I have the time set for 10:00PM and I didn't
receive it last night, nor, tonight. I have it set as recommended.

Helen;
Yes, you could get it tonight, tomorrow or a few days.

Hi Helen,

Only Home systems are currently receiving it. Pro users will have to wait
until the 25th.

Hi Helen,

As JJ has stated, it'll show - the update site will not do everyone at once,
that might overtax the servers.

also once you get the message and you click "Download", you may have
another wait and there will be no indication of wait time.
It could be hours or days.
See FAQ #7:

As Jupiter Jones has indicated that Automatic Update is the recomended way
for downloading the XP SP2 upgrade. Did your problem get resolved?

To help you configure "Automatic Updates", please use Wizard in following
link:

Incase, you don't want to wait and want to download directly and now, use
