AUTO UPDATE

[Ron]

I have auto update on, and it has been configured by MS.
The little globe icon with the windows logo now appears in
the task tray. When I pass the pointer over the icon, a
small window comes up saying "Downloading Updates: 0%".
This icon and the 0% message have been there for two days
with no change.

Am I doing something wrong, or is MS just slow in sending
out SP2. My wife's computer, on the same home network,
updated this morning.

Thanks

I'm having the same problem, although I cannot right
click or left click on the icon in the taskbar. Still
stuck at 0% for 24 hours.
