Hi,

Such errors arise if permissions for registry keys are limited in a manner that bars the service pack from updating the keys.

Registry keys may be restricted by programs that alter the System Access Control Lists (SACL) in the registry thus preventing administrator accounts from changing them.

The following methods may solve the problem:

1. Restart the computer then download and install XP SP3 from Microsoft Download Center rather than updating.

2. If first method did not work, restart the computer and disable the anti-virus software. This method will however expose your computer to malicious attacks, and so you are strongly advised against downloading files or visiting other websites during this period. Now install the full Windows XP SP3 packaged you had downloaded in method 1. Remember to enable the anti-virus software once the installation is successful.

3. If method 2 did not work, you may have to reset the registry and file permissions. Please note that this is an advanced step. It is advisable to let the Microsoft Support Team do it for you.
