December 27, 200619 yr "However, this has been addressed in Service Pack 2, where Windows XP SP2 installed PCs will install the downloaded updates at the time of restarting the PC. In pre SP2 systems, this feature is not available."Does this mean you don't have sp2 installed or maybe it was one time thing maybe you clicked yes for reboot?
