updating to sp2 doesn't work.

[Dominic]

Is anyone having problems dl ing and installing sp2?

I have auto update enabled and nothing happens.

It's set to "everyday" "6pm", recommended settings.

It's past 6pm and windows is still not updated to sp2.

If you don't want to rely on Windows Update, order Windows XP Service Pack 2
on CD or download SP2 file from Microsoft Web site:

Hope this helps!

From what I understand, the update is sort of being rolled out in blocks of
users and you may just not have been "selected" yet. Also, if you are a
university student living on campus, many schools are blocking the update
feature from Microsoft for fear that their systems will be overloaded. Try
going to Windows Update directly and updating manually.
