XP SP2 Not Visible in Windows Update?

I have Win xp Home edition, SP1. I go to Windows update (V5) and it says
there are no updates for me - but I don't have SP2 yet! What could the
problem be?

Hi

I suggest you download the full SP2 installation and use it to
install SP2.

SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone "network" version, 266 MB):

If you think that download is to large, you can get the same
file on a CD from Microsoft.

Luckily I just upgraded to a cable modem so I'm downloading it now to try -
thanks!
