I have an HP computer that came with Windows XP home SP2 (media
edition). I tried to upgrade to SP3, but after it reboots, it gets
stuck in a loop of showing the blue screen, the screen with the blue
dots going across it, and the screen that gives the option of booting
in safe mode. It kept going through those screens. Fortunately, I
was able to restore the system back to SP2. I tried to install it a
second time, but with the same result. Again, I was able to use
system restore.

Is there a way to get the SP3 update to install? I'm getting nervous
about trying again because I don't want the computer to get into a
state where it is not useable.
