I have auto update enabled for XP Home Edition but the
installation is not taking place.
 
There could be multiple reasons for this. e.g. you PC is not online log
enough for auto update to scan the windows update site and notify you. Or you
have dial up or slow speeed connection that it takes time to find this
informationn

If you want to verify your PC is setup correctly for auto updates, you can
follow instructions from
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/windowsxp/updates.aspx

Or, Let the wizard from website do it for you.

Alternatively you could download the full install from following link and
install it yourself. Please note the full install download is approx 270 MB
large so for slow connection it would long time

Otherwise, if you want to wait long for ordering a CD, here's the link.
Please note that CD is not yet available.

I also thought I had a problem, but just wait. One day
you will turn on your machine and SP2 will start
downloading. It's being dribbled out to keep from
overloading the Microsoft Servers.
