Have just finished reinstalling Windows XP on my laptop, what I have is an old version, so I used windows update to update my OS. Windows update recommended SP2 to be installed, after clicking the agreement, the download window comes but the downloading seems to be not starting, however, no error is being prompt

Is a fairly big download which ranges up to 266 MEG depending on what Hot Fixes are installed.

So here depending on your Internet Connection Speed this download will take a long time.

If you want to download the Service Pack you can get it direct from M$ here
