XP Service Pack 3 Set-Up X Access Denied.

While YOU downloading Service Pack 3 got this message:

Service Pack 3 Set-Up X Access Denied.

The problem may be with the xp registry on your computer. I found the following fix that worked:

1. Make a backup of your registry.
2. Download and install subinacl.exe.
3. Create a file called reset.cmd with Notepad. Copy the text below into the file reset.cmd and run reset.cmd with administrative rights (it may take a LONG time):

cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose


subinacl.exe can be downloaded from microsoft.

Kid's blog - worrying trend

When a kid "blog" this I would be dammed worried .....

she wants me to stop sessions.
she wants me to come back home right after school.
she wants to take my laptop away.
she wants to buy more assessment books for me.
she wants me to study like some mad ass.
she.wants.alot.of.things.from.me
all she ever do is assume.
how to, when each time i tell her what i feel, she tells me that it's all excuses.
i tell her that i don't like her to assume and i hate it when she always thinks that i have to live up to her expectations.
i.just.feel.damn.shitty.now. >>
eexactly.
that's what she's telling my aunts and grandma. i'm rebellious.
telling her what i feel, she thinks i'm rebelling.

i hate it when each time you don't listen to me.
i hate it when you say you expect this, i must get this.
