    I went google on the issue and found the simplest solution running XP SP2 being installing SP3 (KB885836 is included in SP3).

    All the usual precautions should be taken prior to installing a Service Pack:

    Clear temp files
    Clear internet history
    Defragment
    Create a Restore Point
     

  3. to hide this advert.
