SP2 Didn't dl'd and auto-update won't ask again

Well heres my problem, I have auto-update set to notify before dl and before
install...it notified me when SP2 was ready to dl, but what happened was that
before i hit accept to start the dl i accidently unchecked the box next to
the SP2 update and nothing ended up being dl'd...that was 2-3 days
ago...auto-update has since not given me the option to dl'd SP2 again...I was
wondering if I just had to wait a little longer for it to ask me again, or if
there is a way to force it to look updates since going to the Windows Update
site only tells me that SP2 is available thru auto-update only at the present
time. Thanks for any help.

Yep, me too, I'm having the same problem!

You can get the entire SP2 package [266MB]
here:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
..Attempt this download only if you have Broadband [about 15 minutes]. Save
the File to My Documents; then go there and double click the file to Start
the installation process. After you finish, burn the file to a couple of CDs
[one to keep, one for family/friends to use].

Check my reply to the original post.

Try turning off the automatic updates (click apply), then click the automatic
updates button to "notify me but don't automatically download..." (click
okay). You should get another message within a minute that an update is
available.
However, when I did this and was notified SP2 was available and clicked
"download", nothing downloaded. Hmmmm.
