*HELP*
I clicked the "Download SP2 Update" -from Automatic
Updates-button on 7/19/04 at 7:56am EST and to this
moment the update is not completed!
The Automatic Updates format and icons have changed in
the My Computer System Properties Folder!!
Yet under the "General" tag info ; It still reads
SERVICE PACK 1.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OR BUG.
I was thinking it was my computer system problem but I
see another related post to this problem.(Aug 21 2004
7:57AM-Post-)

*HELP!*POST ANY SUGGESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY*
 
Yes my microsoft update web page has change too. On that
page they have instructions set to receive security &
critical updates automatically. I think your trying to
get update explicitly.
I think that because microsoft has so many windows xp
computers to update, your not going to get response from
the site. They want you to set your services to automatic
sp2 updates. They'll get to you and others in there own
time. Follow their instructions to receive security &
critical updates automatically.
 
Thanks CARI
I got a question maybe you will help me clear it up.
My computer is a "family" 5 users virtual home network.
One main profile with five different desktops set up for
each user.
Waiting for this download of SP2 and searching in the MS
knowledge Base I found a download of SP2 for network IT
Professionals, specifically:
"WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe"
I downloaded the file to the hard drive-266MB- and
compressed it but have not installed it.

My question is : Does this download apply to my 5
users,one computer, virtual network?
In the mean time I am waiting for the Automatic Updates
download of SP2.
 
That is SP2 for XP. You can uncompress the file » double click on the icon to install it » then you don't need to wait.
