Did *you* manually download XP Service Pack 3 or was it downloaded by
automatic updates ? The message is telling you that too many things are
going on at once for the Service Pack to install.

Suggest you manually download and *save* the standalone SP3 package:

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT
Professionals and Developers
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

* If your system is in a different language, then click the Change link
next to United States toward the top right of the page and set it to
your country/language. *

Once the download completes create a folder on the root drive ( the
drive where Windows is installed to, which is usually C:\ ) and move SP3
to it.

Configure the system to clean boot -

Install SP3 now, allow the system to restart each time it requests to.

Pack 3

"Security updates should *never* have *non-security content* prechecked

SP3 was released two years ago: How come you're only getting around to
install it now?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you attempted to install/installed SP3?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
