I just tried to d/l and install XP SP2 from Windows Update. It seemed fine
until the "Finishing - cleaning up files" stage, when it failed. I found
reference to an 0xd0000005 error, but couldn't find anything that made sense
regarding this.

The computer started fine, and I have the Windows Security Center - seems
fine. What should I do to get rid of the "failed" status?

Thanks in advance.

Download and install the "IT Version" of Service Pack 2. You *do not* have
to be an IT Professional nor do you have to be installing on more than one
machine in order to utilize this resource.

Sorry, but it appears as if SP2 has in fact installed ok, except for the
cleanup phase. If I look at "About" windows, I see: (Build
2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519: Service Pack 2). Do I really need to
reinstall it again?

If I do, should I remove it from the PC via Control Panel first?

IMO, you should and you don't need to uninstall it first.
