Automatic Update of XP SP3 Takes over 30 hours?

[=?Utf-8?B?RG91Zw==?=]

Automatic Update has started installing XP SP3 on my Dell P4-2800 running XP
Home. It has been at the same point "Finishing Installation" with details of
"Running Processes after install" for over 30 hours. Is that normal? Should
I worry, yet?

Thanks!

You should find a NG/forum with the words Windows and XP in the name. This
is a .Net programmer's NG/forum.
