*If* you are referring to Service Pack 3 for XP, suggest you read this
first:

Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717

Download the entire SP3 package from here and *save* it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en

Create a folder on the root drive [ the drive where Windows is installed
to; usually C:\ ] and name it SP3. Move
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe to the newly created folder and run
it from there.
If any errors result, consult KB950717 as it has a table of errors at
the bottom of the KB article.
OR, contact MS for *no-charge suppor*t for issues installing or post SP3
installation issues:
