Hi,
This is on a Vista Home Premium 32bit machine.
Updates are setup to go automatically, but this update isn't happening by itself. Is this because it's a service pack, and is fairly large? Thanks.

Hi this is service pack 1 you really should have this and then you will get a lot more to prepare you for sp2 here is the info from ms on sp1

Thank you for your time. I have read up on it, but was mainly concerned why it didn't automatically update. The system is set for auto updates. Am I correct in assuming big updates like this are not carried out automatically? Just want to make sure there is nothing wrong with the kids system. Thanks

Hi it was so long ago I cannot recall how it came down but usually your correct and it would come down automatically, to be honest i set mine to tell me when there are updates available and choose when to install so that i limit the chance of it updating and restrarting while I 'am doing something,is it possible the settings have changed it can happen with no help from anyone
