Error: 0x80070002 - Service Pack 3

Hello there!

Yesterday I rebooted my computer with XP due to the fact of the performance
of my PC and a possible Virus. So I took my computer back to basics.

Now all updates have run fine, only problem I get is when updating to
Service Pack 3.
It says -
Service Pack 3 Setup Error: System cannot find file specified
Also -
Setup Error: Installation did not complete

The error code is in the title. I've tried numerous of solutions I found
using Google, this is really last resort.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thank you,
Matt.
