I have 2 computers I just installed SP3 on, I am now getting a message
telling the updates have failed. This is on a fresh install of Windows XP and
SP3 was downloaded and installed immediately before the failed messages
started.

Uninstall SP3, it's not ready for use yet. It's got way too many problems
and major issues to warrant installing it on any system.
