Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929)

After dowloading this update, message comes up Access Denied. I believe the
error code is 0x80070005. The dowload was attempted 3 times, two by auto
updates and one by manual download. Any suggestions?

Error message when you try to install WinXP SP3: "Access is denied" or
“Service Pack installation did not complete�

Both Access Denied came up during installing process and then a Service Pack
Setup error came up after it uninstalled the dowload.

Try method three from the given web page.

In other words...
Visit this web page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377
Print it out and/or follow at least Method 3 completely.

If that fails to remedy your issue, then you should utilize the free service
to troubleshoot SP3 installation issues on your computer through
Microsoft...
