Hello,

Have you tried to download the stand alone and install it? Have you updated every driver you can then see if it will install?

Cheers,
Mak

I downloaded one standalone which was for I.T professionals net install, but i doubt that was corect as it would get an error whilst extracting the files. Is there another one which can be downloaded ?

back up all your stuff, do a fresh install. sp3 is best installed (along with all service packs) from a fresh install.
