XP SP2 Update

[Guest]

On 8/19 at approx 9:30 AM Windows Update notified me that
SP2 was ready for download/install. I clicked to download
and install, running DSL, two days later there was no
indication that download had taken place nor had install
been done. I can't do a manual download. Will I have to
wait for "next" go round? Thanks for any suggestions or
comments.
