Registry errors when installing SP3

Hi All

Apologies for the duplicate post, I think I posted it in the wrong section
before.
I'm trying to install SP3 over the top of SP2 on an AMD machine. It will
backup so far and then gives me the following errors when trying to backup
the registry :-
Cannot back up registry key HKCR\.DVR-MS
and if I ignore that I get
Cannot backup registry value HKCR\.DVR-MS,\'Perceived type, video\'

I've tried several times and am now out of ideas.
Anyone offer any help?

Hi

I've confirmed that all necessary other updates have been applied before
trying to install SP3.
I've downloaded the installation package (316MB) and tried installing again,
only to get the same error messages.

Anyone?

I've contacted Microsoft to get their advice and am now awaiting some sort
of fix and advice from them.
