Windows XP SP2 Download Problem.

I was run Window XP Pro Sp2 Rc2. All parts were functioning normal including
the new security center.
Then, on August 18,2004, the SP2 started to download for about 1 hour then
it quit.
Now, the security center is gone; the version for IE6=
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633; Update Versions:;=sp1 and the Windows Update
History shows-- " Windows XP Service Pack 2 Canceled Wednesday, August 18,
2004 Automatic Updates".
The sp2 download will not restart.
Whaats Uuuppp?

Hi,

This behavior is expected due to Windows Update controlling the rate at
which Windows XP Service Pack 2 is released. For the health of the overall
internet, the Service Pack needs to be slowly released to machines. This
prevents the internet ecosystem from becoming overburdened.


If you would like Windows Update to download updates automatically without
prompting you for please follow the steps below.



1. Click Start

2. Click Control Panel

3. Double-click the System icon

4. Select the Automatic Updates tab

5. Select the item labeled Download updates for me, but let me choose when
to install them.
