I had my system set to download but not install SP2 for XPpro and it has
stoped telling me anything. Does this mean it downloaded it somewhere on my
drive?
If not how can I get the XPpro version downloaded.

Hi Mel go to micrsofts web page and find the sp2 down load icon this is a slow loading program and you'll have to be patient with it. Once you've started loading it leave it alone. It will eventually load itself and will tell you once it has finished don't be pushing and keys while it's loading and expect it to take 45 minutes or more to finish loading. I suggest you turn off your monitor and go away for and hour or so then come back and see what progress it's made. It will let you know once it has finished. The biggest thing I found is that you have to leave it be and let it load I was impatient and kept pushing this key and that key while it was loading and I kept screwing it up so just let it be and you should be fine it can only load to the one drive so it wouldn't be anywhere's else on your computer except where it's suppose to be so you don't have to worry about that.

Thanks all.
Lost patience last night and changes setting to auto install. Found flag
this morning asking if it should be installed now?? I went ahead and had it
automatically installed which took under 10 minutes and all appears fine in
my programs so far.

click on start button, then choose run, in the box type winver, press OK.
That shows what version of windows you have and it will show that sp2 is
installed .

OR right click "my Computer" and hit "properties"
 
Below is from my sent folder-sent yesterday. I have no idea why it isn't
showing here as was a "reply group" message.
