SP2 question

[dtro]

I got the popup to download SP2. I selected download and then my update icon disappeared from the toolbar and that was the end. I have been logged on for approx 5 hrs since then. I've got a blazing connection at 6000/512. Would it really take that long?

The total size of the update is 266MB, so, it will take some time. You do have a fast internet connection though, so somethings holding it up. Is there any way to check the progress of the download?

You could also just download it from Neowin instead.

normally I can check the progress (security updates), but not this one. I tried disabling the auto update, the reenabling it. The balloon came up, I clicked and poof, gone again.
Maybe I'll try your site.
Thanks

when will I get the prompt to download XP2, does everyone already have it or is microsoft delivering over the next couple weeks?

Similar thing happened to me. I got the update balloon, clicked it, got the box telling me the size,etc. Got it started. I went away thinking the size would cause it to take a while. Came back later and nothing was left, so I checked and I was still on SP1. Days later nothing has changed, still SP1.

Same thing happened to me.
Go here and either order the cd or download it from windows update : http://support.microsoft.com/default...S;windowsxpsp2

I dl'd it from the neowin site. Thanks for the link Juice! Took 7 minutes to dl and about 2 or 3 times that to install. Disabled the firewall, but love the popup blocker.

Hi ... I don't think my was that big

Then you downloaded it via Windows Update
Windows Update doesn't download the entire pack, just the parts of it that haven't been installed yet.
