Cannot download SP3 for XP

[bromhouse]

I checked Microsoft for updates and was advised to download SP3 via express download.

Went OK from the Microsoft download site until the end when it just stated "failed" - I have repeated the attempt with the same result. No problem downloading updates prior to this!
(My Norton is set to allow updates)
Ideas please!

Do you have a previous version of SP3 installed? If so, it must be uninstalled first.

You can also try downloading it from the download center here:
