I have had numous automatic downloads of the XP SP3 to go through
the process just to end up saying access denied advising that all

separate download versus the automatic update and also ensuring all
virus and firewalls were turned off. Did all that then when I try
to load it I get a message SP3 already installed or applied?
From all the negatives I hear of SP3 maybe as well it don't load?
Where should I go from here? Leave it as it or contact the Windows
guys?
The negatives that you hear - is it from newsgroups such as these...?
Where people come to ask questions and get help with problems...
If so - it's like going to a hospital emergency room and seeing a bunch of
people with cuts, bruises, broken bones, etc and assuming that you will have
the same trouble they do. ;-)
A quick Google (or the search engine of your choice) would have come up with
the answer to your issue...
In your case - I probably would have Googled for:
"Access Denied" "Windows XP" SP3
And probably would have found many hits - but one would likely have included
this advice:
Try Method 3 of this article:
