Guest Joe Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 So I get access denied when trying to install sp3. I tried downloading it directly to the my pc and run it still no luck. I have tried disabling my anti-virus & spyware doctor, still no luck. Went to modify the registry but can't back it up because system restore is missing from system properties, and it won't run on its own using the command line from run. I went to rename System Volume Information and reboot to try then. But I can't rename it I get a message saying it's in use or the drive is write protected. Anyone have any suggestions?

Guest nass Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 RE: Service Pack 3 Problem what you mean an option in System properties? Did you create the new Profile with admin Privileges? Click Start >> All programs >> Accessories >> System tools >> System Restore and pick up a restore point. Do you get any error message? Please send us your Error messages by following the steps below: Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it later for this step to copy the error message on it. Open a run command and type in: eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel. click on each of these: Application System Security Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the causer. On the Event error properties message you will see: Up Arrow Down arrow Two pages Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad. Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us Please we need just the error messages with Red (X) and don't repeat the error, just one of each kind and post them back in your next post.

Guest Joe Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 RE: Service Pack 3 Problem That is how you run system restore off the start menu.
