Windows SP1 Error

I was installing SP1(Service Pack 1) on Win XP Pro and it came up saying
"C:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer is open or in use by another
program. Please close this program and try again" when it was "taking
inventory". It then gave me a choice of what to do. I could either click
retry or cancel. I tried retry and it kept coming up with the same thing. So
then I used task manager to end all processes except system critical ones. I
tried again and it still didnt work. I would like some help in this please.
Also it won't let me install SP2 for some reason.

Thank you and God Bless.

SP-1 for what?
Windows XP?
If so you should install SP-2 instead.

Download SP-2 or order SP-2 on CD.
Both options Step 1 on this page:

If you still have problems, follow the Service Pack Installation
Checklist above.
