When trying to run the Win XP, SP3 downloaded file I get an error saying

When trying to use Windows update to install SP3 I get the error No.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support for WinXP SP3 was
available from 14 April 2008 thru May 2009. Such support will cost you
US$59 (or more) per incident now.

Are you currently running WinXP Gold, WinXP SP1, or WinXP SP2?

Is IE7 or IE8 installed by any chance?
