========================================
Steps to take before you install WinXP SP3
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717

<IMHO>
Temporarily disable all real-time protections afforded by your anti-virus
application, any anti-spyware applications, and any third-party firewall
prior to installing SP3. If you disable a third-party firewall, make sure
you then enable the Windows Firewall: The machine should not be connected to
the internet without an active firewall.

After installing SP3 /and rebooting twice/, check to make sure your
real-time protections have been re-enabled; If you disabled a third-party
firewall, remember to re-enable it and disable the Windows Firewall.

Where you trying to install Windows XP SP3 Release Candidate Refresh? If you
are I would uninstall it and try to re-install it; however if this occures
again I would contact Microsoft XP support by going to the following website
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...3&gprid=522131.
