Is there a way to cancel Window Updates?

Today is the 17th December, I clciked to download the Service Pack 2 for my
Windows XP yesterday. Windows Update alerted me about it being ready to
downlaod so I clicked "Download" but here's what happened. I clicked it and
thought it would down but I had to restart and I know that if I connect again
the download would finish. But that was since yesterday and the downlad is
still at 0%, I've tried doubling clicking the icon and even right clicking it
but all it says is "Downloading Updates: 0%" because it's also updating my
modem..

Can anyone try to help me please...?

I have replied to this topic to say never mind. I think I figured out a way.
This is what I did:

Went start mean then run
Typed in services.msc
Went to Automatic Update
Right clicked then stopped it

With that setting, you will no longer be able to use Windows Update,
Automatic or Manual.
Better to disable Automatic Updates in Control Panel:
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Updates tab.
Make selections as desired.

To delete what Windows Update has downloaded but not installed, follow step

Follow the Service Pack Installation Checklist to install SP-2:
