Windows service pack 3 refresh

I cannot install this program it gets to the point that it is finishing
installation and says it is running processes and it just seems to hang there
for about 45 minutes and during that time my memory goes nuts and drops from
1200 to 1 up and down aprox every 5 minutes then finally I get different
error codes and the program says it cannot install and shuts me down, then I
need to use it's restore point to get rid of it. I have tried 4 times. This
update keeps showing up for me even though I checked it not to do so. That
did prevent it from downloading and asking me to install it thank God. I
contacted microsoft and was told that the current sp3 is not for xp home
addition and shows up by mistake and will be out soon but did not say how I
would recognize the new update for home edition beings the other one shows up
when I check for updates. anybody have any more information on this?
I am running windows xp sp2 home edition and IE7
Thanks
