Service Pack 3 (KB936929)Installation

My windows One Care is constantly telling me that I am missing high-priority
installation updates and when I check for updates it is this Windows XP
service Pack 3 (KB936929) it is wanting to install. I click install and it
goes through the motions but will not install it. Failed Error Code:
0x8007F0CC
I have my computer set to automatic updates This continually fails ThenI do
it manually and it still fails. What is stopping this from installing?

0x8007F0CC = STATUS_KERNEL_NONSTD 327101

This behavior may occur if the computer has a modified version of the
Ntoskrnl.exe file that uses the /KERNEL switch in the Boot.ini file.

This condition may exist because the computer has a third-party program
installed that customizes the graphics that are displayed when your computer
starts.

Third-party programs that can cause this condition include the following:

BootXP
LogonUI Boot Randomizer

Error message when you try to install a service pack in Windows XP:
"Windows has detected that one or more protected core system files
(kernel) on your computer have been modified"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327101

" This behavior may occur if the computer has a modified version of the
Ntoskrnl.exe file that uses the /KERNEL switch in the Boot.ini file.
This condition may exist because the computer has a third-party program
installed that customizes the graphics that are displayed when your
computer starts. Third-party programs that can cause this condition
include the following:

* BootXP
* LogonUI Boot Randomizer

To resolve this problem, you must remove the third-party program that is
causing the problem. "

Does the above condition exist ... eg. is there a 3rd party program that
customizes graphics installed ?

If not, see this: Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717

*NOTE*
1) The information concerning Internet Explorer.
2) The info on disabling the installed antivirus/security suite.

You can download the complete standalone SP3:
Windows XP Service Pack 3 x86 (32bit)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...8-1e1555d4f3d4

*Save* it, then do a clean boot of XP to eliminate any interference by
3rd party software:
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353

After the system has been clean booted, create a folder on the root
drive, the drive where WINDOWS is installed to, and name it SP3.
Now move WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe to the newly created folder
and run it from within that location.
