Am having similar problems, managed to install on one PC after 2 attempts, it froze during installation. Second PC gave error message halway through-'unable to access SP3' Log revealed error code 0 X 80070005, nothing in knowledge base pertaining to this code.

I think I have found the problem, it is a registry one so not too good. If you search the knowledge base thoroughly you will find it eventually but Microsoft not at all helpful if SP3 is that difficult to install.

Since I have not performed a new Windows XP installation nor repair I do not think it is relevant in my case. See article 949377 which I think explains the problem but the first resolution does not work, I haven't yet tried the second and the third fills me with dread. The title of the article is: Error messages when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "Access is denied" or " Service Pack installation did not complete"

Yes, I got "Access is denied" just before the installation was complete. In the article 949377 it tells you how to verify that the registry update has failed, I followed the procedure which confirms that there is an issue preventing the registry update. I have downloaded the SP3 from the message centre even though it recommmended otherwise but have not yet installed it. I have tried to restore to an earlier time with System Restore but it wont let me. I did this because I had a message after the failure to Install SP3 which indicated that there may be a problem with Windows XP because of the reverting back.

See LINK
If you need further assistance, open a free WinXP SP3 support incident (see my previous reply).
