Windows XP, update

[primero]

I use Win xp with IE 8, I want to do a windows update, I went to the update section, it wants to install MS Framework 1.1 Service pack 1, during installation it encounters a problem with sl56.tmp, consequently it ceases installation and needs to close. Before doing the update, I have done a restart and paused protection on the antivirus program, is there anything else I should have done before I started the installation. I looked in MS knowledge base but I can't find any info relevent to my problem.
Can you please help me, thank you so much.

I will say that Microsoft offers free help with updates - Cool! The only downside is that it may take some time. I would begin that process if I were you.

Having said that, I would download and save the service pack to your desktop, close all windows and run it. Let us know how it works out for you.
