Hi. I am using MS Window XP, and I received an SP2 update
message this morning (I have XP set on Automatic
Updates). I clicked on OK, and since then it seems like
nothing is happening. Is it being downloaded quietly in
the background, so to speak? Has it stopped downloading
for some reason? Should I just leave the Internet
connection on for hours? Don't you think there should be
a meter somewhere informing us the progress of the
download? What happens when I turn off my computer? Will
the download pick up again later? I couldn't find any
information about this on the Net, so could some of the
experts out there please give us some insights into what
is going on with this download? Thanks.
 
Rebecca;
Assuming SP-2 is downloading and you shut down, it will start again
where it left off when you power on the computer.
Look in the Notification Area (by clock).
There is probably an icon there referring to the download.
Double click it and you should get more information.
You may get more information just by hovering over the icon.
 
No, there's nothing going on right now. Should I leave my
computer on all day (and night)? Would it be too much to
ask if this procedure were a little more transparent?
Alas!
 
Rebecca;
Not necessary to leave the computer on unless you need or want to.
It sounds like it did not start, could you have pressed the wrong
button?
 
This happened to me this morning. I clicked for it to
download, it started then the balloon disappeared. Not
sure what I am to do now, any ideas?
 
Sara;
I was just informed this seems only to be an issue when you select
"Notify me..." in Automatic Update and they are working on it.
Select the other Automatic Update option and see if it works.
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab
Select "Automatic Recommended"
Click OK and follow prompts
 
Same here. I had it set to notify me and it did, but did not download. Now
the next day with automatic and download set, nothing is happening. How can
we get SP 2 ? thanks for help
