Yes. Almost the same problem. The Service Pack 3 update (which takes forever) gets near the end and errors out. Then everything has to be undone (which takes forever) and the computer has to restart. The update notification icon is always on and the SP3 always crashes. There is some way of getting help after the crash but it seems random whether the link to help appears or not. Couldn't find it this time.

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page" error message when you try to install an update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883614
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?
Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?
