You may need the latest update. The first one had errors.
To upgrade, go to:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
Disable your anti-virus, firewall, etc. Let it autoscan
and tell you what you need to update.
Here is the article from the xp support site ref#:
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;819634):

"SYMPTOMS
You may experience slower computer performance after you
install the 811493 (MS03-013) security update package on
a computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 1
(SP1), or after you upgrade to SP1 on a Windows XP-based
computer on which the 811493 security update was
previously installed. This problem may be more likely to
occur if you use some features of some third-party
programs, such as antivirus programs. For example, this
problem may occur if your antivirus program is configured
to scan all files when you open (or you run) them. This
is sometimes called "real-time" scanning.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install the corrected version of
the 811493 security update. For additional information
about how to obtain and install the corrected version of
the 811493 security update, click the following article
