XP SP2 Install Error

[Guest]

I’ve tried to install XP Service Pack 2 several times and have gotten errors
each time. I get an Access Denied error at the end of the install and then
messages saying that XP Service Pack was not fully installed and I could have
problems w/ my operating system. Since this has happened my computer’s
performance has pretty much died. For example, it takes forever to boot up
and start programs. If I have more than one window open at a time it takes
forever to toggle b/w windows. If I open an IE window and a pop-up add comes
up and I try to close it then IE crashes.

How do I get XP SP2 to install properly? Any help is appreciated.

I have Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Virus protection running.

Thanks,
Chris

You virus scanner and spyware detector should be turned off when installing
updates from Windows Update.
