How to interrupt download of SP2 (which auto-started)
How can I interrupt and terminate the download of XP's SP2, which I
accidentally allowed to start automatically from the Microsoft site? I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Something is continuously chatting. Unfortunately it is using up my allocated broadband traffic allowance, and I don't want to run out before the end of the month - please help! |

Go to a PC store and get a free SP2 update CD.
Install it! "Tit for Tat" wrote: How can I interrupt and terminate the download of XP's SP2, which I accidentally allowed to start automatically from the Microsoft site?

How to interrupt download of SP2 (which auto-started)
That's what I call "thinking outside the box" - it gets 10/10 :-)
Unfortunately I was after an answer to apply "inside the box", i.e. what do I need to zap, where is it, how do I zap it please?
