Vivian, what have you tried?

You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the "0x80246008"
code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or from
the Microsoft Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910337

What causes Error 0x8ddd0018
http://www.updatexp.com/0x8ddd0018.html

The Automatic Updates Service starts and then stops automatically
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555336

Make sure that you have automatic updates turned on.

Make sure that the Remote Procedure Call Locator is not disabled:
Click Start, select Run and type in:
services.msc
Locate " Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator".
If it is disabled, then right click on it, go to 'Properties', change to 'manual' and
Apply.
Try Windows Update Again

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page" error message when you try to install an update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883614

That will do for now.

BTW, why are you trying to download SP2 now, do you know SP3 is now available?

I don't why the original poster is trying to download SP2 but I would need
to slipstream SP2 to my WinXP Gold before slipstream with SP3
