Re: Windows XP Home SP3 update failed

Well, since you helpful folks poured in so much information and your time to
it, I feel like I'll let you all down if I don't put in my muscle into it.
So, I will do it. Thanks for the inputs.

When I tried to update my Windows XP Home SP2 to SP3, it continued for
over
one hour before coming to a screeching halt. I have pasted below the last
portions of the svcpack.log. Though the error prompt said that Windows may
not work properly, so far it seems to work two days after the failure. Any
help will be appreciated.
