XP SP2

I have auto update turned on. Lunch-time Friday 20 August I was prompted to
download SP2. Clicked OK. Box disapeared. Still no sign of SP 2! I don't
think it has even started to download.

How long does this take?

Regards

Tom

does the windows auto update icon still appears in the task bar? If yes, you
can re-try by right click.

Another user posted some recommendations in this message:

It recommends that:
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab
Select "Automatic Recommended"
Click OK and follow prompts
