THX!
I checked out the phone help link...got thru to a great support guy in India!
We worked on the prob for over 2 hours on the phone and after he took
control of my 'puter using "easy access" software...we got SP3
installed...after scores of similar error windows (failed to hook) kept
coming up!

He had never heard of such a warning! He also suggested that there was some
conflict with my sound card (?) and directed me to a microsoft page
explaining some conflict with AMD processors (which i have)!!

Anyway...i have sp3 after much hand wringing and 3 hours of time!

Thx again.

Yeah, somebody stroked your rod. I'm really impressed. Why don't you try to
actually help someone, instead of lurking for a cookie-cutter answer that
someone happened to be able to use. By the way, read the actual post. It's
not positive for you, brother.
