Service Pack 3 (KB936929)

[kelly]

I have now installed the 'service pack 3' update three times and it hasn't
worked once. I am not getting a code. I'm getting two boxes, one says
'Access is denied' and the other says 'Service pack 3 installation did not
complete', 'Select OK to undo the changes that have been made'. I don't know
what is going on but when I first tried to do the update, we didn't have
enough memory. We solved that problem and then the last two times I've tried
to run the update, I get those two messages. In addition, I got an error
that says the update didn't fully install and XP may not be woking properly,
which it isn't. It's much slower and I'm not able to view all of my icons in
the .ico view, I have to use a thumbnail view, which is awful. Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks!
