Windows Live OneCare AntiVirus not working after uninstalling SP3 (Windows XP)

I've been having constant problems with windows update not working. It would download updates but would fail every time I tried to install them. This only started happening after I installed SP3, so I decided to try uninstalling SP3. Now that I have uninstalled SP3, Windows Live OneCare is unable to start anti-virus and spyware monitoring. I have tried stopping and restarting the service, as well as using all the repair tools for OneCare. Is there a way to fix this without having to re-install OneCare, if that will even fix it.

I suggest uninstalling One Care, run the install cleanup tool - http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=828910&SiteID=2 then install SP3. After SP3 is installed, install One Care. If you contaiue to have Windows Update issues after SP3 installation you can get SP3 help here - https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?ln=en-us&prid=11273&gprid=522131
