installshield problem (after service pack 3 install)

so, i was having some random issues with my computer, running xp prof., home built computer from a small local computer store, so nothing has really been compatible on this thing. Anyways...right now i'm getting the ikernel.exe problem when i go to install my finepix viewer program or any program really. right now i can get it to install the finepix viewer but it won't install the usb drivers. another random (could be related or unrelated) problem is the windows search function also does not work. Any help at all would be a godsend.
thanks,

i recently installed the service pack 3, could it be because i don't have sp2?

 

the reason i installed the service pack was because windows media videos wouldn't work consistantly from website links, and i need to get those videos everyday as part of my job. So, does anyone know why now that i've installed service pack, i now get the ikernel32.exe message, access denied. if i have to take it out, i will, but i will still need to figure out how to get those videos working.

 

thank you very much, i appreciate it.

 

in the CMD when i go to expand...well, here, i'll copy and paste.

i don't have an xp pro. CD, i didn't install it on this computer. this comp. was one that was purchased from a local computer tech shop and given to me second-hand. I have a couple copies of xp home around the house.

 

should i just drop the pro and install the home edition?
