Everything goes fine until the Wizard starts to back up the registry
files...then it freezes. I am uninstalling SP2 and turning off auto
download. This is a piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's your opinion - but you are over-emotional.
when you cool off, figure out the problem rather than using scatological
terminology which fixes nothing.
If you had taken notes and posed an intelligent question, perhaps someone
could have helped you.
Yes, for you it is crap. But not for me. It installed fine with no
problems.

I had the same exact problem but was able to fix it. I am no expert and
think you can skip the first step that I took but this is what I did. First
I uninstalled any windows XP update that had a "(SP2)" next to it. Then I
found the folder that contained all the files for the SP2 update that windows
auto update had downloaded and deleted it. On my computer the folder was
located at
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\9ded4ee34 a35fced0033d3e152a36e0e.
Next I clicked on the auto update icon to see if it would redownload the file
but instead it tried to install it and if failed. When I restarted my
computer, auto update started to download the file from microsoft
automatically. When it was done, I installed it and everything went fine.
Hope this helps.
