Office 2003 sp3 update

[dazza67]

Office 2003 SP3 update and SP2 update as well both give a "extracting file
failed. It is most likely caused by low memory(low disk space for swapping
file) or corrupted cab file.
Have downloaded SP3 from multiple sites with same result. Have shut down all
programs, defragged HDD, have 30Gb free on C drive, 2Gb RAM, XP SP3,
increased page file and reinstalled Office. All with no change. Please help!
