Service Pack 2 for...?

If Windows XP (by some chance) - the Access Denied for Service Pack 2 (and
Service Pack 3) are well documented issues with well documented
work-arounds/solutions found in these newsgroups, the Microsoft web site and
all over the web.

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP "Access Denied" issue:

Service Pack 3 for Windows XP "Access Denied" issue:

(I suggest Method 3... Likely would fix your Service Pack 2 issues as well.)
