When did you get this error, and can you use Windows Update?
Ouch, hopefully you just changed some components/software and it became unvalidated. I'm really hoping you didn't get a illegal copy of windows.

Tried using windows update did not update windows XP Service Pack 3
OK, before you install any service packs, install all other updates first.
When you see the Service Pack 3 screen, at the lower left you will see "review other updates".
Install all these first, restart, set a Restore Point, then install Service Pack 3.
Let us know how it goes.
Also, what is your make/model of PC?
