Just an update, I have notification of SP2 last night and chose to ignore it
until this morning. When I selected download it appeared to do nothing as I
suspect yours did. After an hour still nothing (I have broadband) so I went
to the windows update site and that carried out a check of my system after
the usual checking the PC and then told me of a 98M update to download.
Previous to this I was up to date with all current critical updates but it
still took its time to download and install SP2, which is now installed and
working.
