      <![CDATA[<p>I have had a problem with this also (especially installing SP3).You can download a utility called Dial-a-Fix. Extract and run program, click on the "Hammer" button, select "RESET PERMISSIONS" and click "GO". This resets your NTFS permissions.Reinstall SP2/SP3.Worked for me. Messing with the registry is dangerous enough unless your quite confident in doing so.</p>]]>
