I'm having difficulty installing SP3. On running the update I get an error
message that extracting the file failed due to low memory or a corrupt
Cabinet file. I've tried the full file and client downloads with similar
results. I certainly don't have any shortage of space for the swap file and
I assume the download image on the server isn't corrupt so do you have any
ideas about what the problem could be.

Word 2002 is the only Office application I have - installed as part of
WorksSuite 2005. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 installed.
