I have been helping a friend with an XP computer. When she goes online I see that updates start downloading automatically. If she is online for only 5 minutes updates are up to 20%. Next time she goes online will updates start at 20% or from 0%??

Also there is no automatic updates icon in control panel, emr has told me that this because service pack 1 has not yet been downloaded. Is it true that until she has automatic updates icon in control panel there is no way to control downloading of updates?
