Unable to download SP2 for XP (EULA Not Accepted)

I have been unable to download SP2 for XP using Automatic Updates or by
manually downloading the very large SP2 update file. I am receiving a
message I have not seen in the discussion groups that I've checked:

'You chose to skip all available updates, so no changes were made to your
computer.'

I have been able to download and install the other non SP2 updates. I
simply can't download SP2.

I have validated Windows.

When I look for the details on another update screen, I see the following:

' The following updates were not installed
Windows XP Service Pack 2

Problem: End User License Agreement (EULA) Not Accepted'

Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I can't seem to figure out
what went wrong. I've done a Windows installation on various computers about
a dozen times without this problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This behavior may occur if a third-party content filtering program, such as Guard-IE or
GuardWall.com is installed on your computer. These types of programs may prevent a message
or a dialog box, such as a dialog box that displays the EULA, from appearing.

And it's *activated* already?

Bye,

Thanks - this is what happened. I thought I had disabled the pop-up blocker
but I guess I hadn't. When I turned off the pop-up blocker I was able to
sign the EULA which I hadn't seen before.
