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.


About the best thing I have done for this problem is to order the SP2 disk
from Microsoft and run it from that. Then if it will not work, reinstall
the OS. Worked for me.
