I downloaded service pack 3 Windows XP and now my computer will not start, what should I do?

I have an old computer that I was not really to help and now I would use it for my son for doing homework, typing and some internet research.  I'm trying to update as much as possible.  I can only turn the computer in safe mode after I installled XP SP3.  Any suggestions?
