trying method 3, but where do I save the notebook and how do I
access it to double click on it?? I am very PC stupid!! I have also
tried MS online help, and get a screen that says loading with a bar
that moves back and forth and that is it, no live chat or help.I am
REALLY going nuts and very frustrated!!I installed SP3 on an older
PC with XP and same antivirus with NO problems!! PLEASE HELP!

Next time - actually post your reference instead of just referring to it.

It doesn't tell you to save a notebook - it tells you to open notepad,
copy/paste the contents and save the file.

Do this:
Advanced Troubleshooting from the following link:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377

You download and install subinacl on your own computer and then
copy/past a script into notepad and save it as a specific name and then run
that script you created.

1. Download and then install the Subinacl.exe file. To download this, visit
the
following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en

Double-click on the downloaded file to install it.

2. Start Notepad.

3.Copy and then paste the following text (7 total lines - your newsreader
might word-wrap) into Notepad.

cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f
/grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose

4. Save this Notepad file as Reset.cmd (where is unimportant.).

5. Double-click the Reset.cmd file to run the script.
Note: This script file may take a long time to run. Additionally, you have
to run this script as an administrator and reboot afterwards.

6. Install Windows XP SP3.
