PRE-INSTALL of Sp2. PROBLEM !HELP!

Dell dimension desktop 8300 windows xp home edition Sp1 (OEM)
 
Hi- I want to install  sp2 on a pc of my friends. I have been
successfull doing this installation on 2 of my personal pc's. I am following the advice doing the pre-install basics to ensure another smooth installation, by following Jupiter Jones @ his web site again.

I used this same check list ( on my two personal Dell pc's) and all went well with those. I am having a problem on my friends pc. ANyways, on this check list, it states on #11 on J.Jones site, that I should do this check by typing in the "run" box regsvr32.exe licdll.dll"
&that DllRegisterServer in licdll.dll should show as succeeded- it did
But, the next step was to type in the run
box. And that it should ALSO suceed. it does NOT .   What shows instead is this :
  DllRegisterServer in regwizc.dll FAILED - return code was :
0x80040154

I already contacted Dell by phone. they said to call Microsoft. Microsoft told me to call Dell. Also, I have posted my problem in a few forums asking for assistance. I have had some great people try to help. But, none seems to work. SO, here I am. ASking for help here. maybe someone will know what to do.

Note: I may add that I have my friends pc becuase she asked me to help her look at it. it was acting weird. I suspected malware of all types and that was the case. I need to give this back to her soon. I will try to keep it a day or two longer to see if I can get help. I would have hoped to return her pc to her with Sp2 installed. thank you
