[dba-Tech] WinXP update problem

oh, forgot to say that I tried that already last night with the first PC.
It asked clearly for the SP3 CD.
After that one was rejected I triedd the WinXP install CD, which is 
slipstreamed with SP2.
I could dig out instructions how to slipstream and then make a slipstreamed 
SP3 CD.
Then I would have to install the newest Windows update again, and try that 
CD.

OTOH, since obviously there are SP3 files modified, what do you think, 
should I try to install SP3 on top of what I have?

Or - isnt there a repair utility? hmmm... sfc? is that right? system file 
check???
