My computer has tried 3 different times to install the service Pack 3. It
makes a lot of changes and then begans to install. About 2/3s of the way
through it stops and says it cannot finish and I have to check a box to let
it uninstall and repair changes it has made. Can you explain what is
happening?

Try: Click Start, select run, type: regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Press Okay
