Trying to update SP3

Running Windows XPsp2 and keep being asked to install updates (auto
configured) but am getting this error: 0x8024002D.

I manually downloaded the executable 57 MB file, it installs without a
hitch, I get a message saying everything installed fine, but the SP3 Update
does not appear in Add/remove programs list and I keep getting a yellow
shield in the taskbar telling me to install the SP3 update.

Thanks.

Adam

a full-file patch failed because the source was required

If you were downloading a patch, repair Office XP install and try the patch
again or
try installing the patch with the Office XP CD in the installation drive.

With the Office XP CD in the drive, when I install the patch I get the
message that SP3 is already installed. I went to a MS Knowedgebase article
which listed numerous files (listed by version) to look for <IF> SP3 was
successfully installed--not a single file is present with the updated version
listed.
