| Did you get any other error, e.g., "access is denied?" If so, see the solution that worked for me: »Re: [XP Pro] Windows XP Pro SP3 Installation Report.
Also, googled you error code to here: »www.microsoft.com/communities/ne···oc=en-us

The fact that other Windows Updates did not show a problem is not relevant to the case of Service Packs. Service Pack 2 would have thrown the same error.
You have to edit boot.ini and remove the "/Kernel" switch that is now on the startup line.

If so, try that and after SP3 installs you can change it back. |

See: » support.microsoft.com/kb/327101/ I was having the same problem hayc59 is having and thanks to bcastner and the link he provided i found out that Tuneup Utilities was what was causing my XP SP3 update to not install, so i followed the instruction at the Microsoft link and what d you know SP3 installed without a hitch. Thanks hayc59 for posting and thanks bcastner for the link.
