Service Pack 3 Setup Error

Hello everybody
I have a problem, I have downloaded the SP3 file but I cannot install the
files, when I ' ve tried to install it appear a message, this is shown below:

"Setup cannot update your Windows XP files because the language installed on
your system is different from the update language."

I hope somebody could help me. Thanks a lot

What is the language on your system? Is it likely that you have changed
it inadvertently to something else? What does the task bar at the
bottom right say? Have you tried installing the SP3 in SAFE MODE?

The language that I use is Spanish and I haven`t tried to install in safe mode.
I `ve tried to install using the update web page from microsoft and I `ve
tried downloading first and then I 've executed it.

Hello there,

Try downloading and installing from here,:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-9e368d3cdb5a.

My guess it will work just fine

Be sure to back up important data before installing as with every major
upgrade.

Let us know if this solved your problem?

Good luck and best regrads,
Michel Denie
