Auto close

I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 with XP on which I was trying to download the SP2. It it taking so long to download, the computer shuts off unless I sit there and tap the mouse once in a while. How do I shut off the auto feature so the entire program will download?

    If you have a slow dialup connection, order the cd instead. It's free.

    You should be able to d/l without a problem with dsl. Change your Power Options to never Standby, Shutdown or Hibernate and no screensavers. Go here and get the whole sp2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
