Windows XP Service Pack 3 Update

When I try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929) I keep getting
access denied.

I also have that same problem. I've tried installing it three times; each
time the access is denied message would pop up. Now my computer isn't
functioning very well (running slowly).

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

You are installing it when logged in as an Administrator?

It's a home computer.

Doesn't answer the question. Perhaps you need it rephrased, though - are you
logged in as a full or as a restricted user?
