If you cannot get SP3.... that is a problem encountered by many people when that fix was sent out.
What happened is this:
Many legitimate computer companies (and I won't name them now), offered Windows on their machines, just like all of them do.
What happened was that a pirated version was sold to some of them, and they bought it. By being pirated (which they didn't know), it wasn't discovered until the SP3 pack was offered, many years later. Because the signature codes were missing on the machines enabling some updates, when that SP3 pack came out it required this coding, which was missing on the pirated versions of Windows.
This may be the problem. If you search SP3 Windows update failures, you'll find this explanation better than I can give.
