Have you done all the previous updates first?   It also needs to update the updater program before it'll install SP2.

The download was 25 - 256MB ( i think) and was just wondering how much of it has been downloaded.       Kris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Morton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 11:29 PM Subject: RE: XP question Packet size is variable.. and no generally recieved will be higher than sent.
