After updating to SP3, when turning off computer it hangs with the usual
message "windows is shutting down" but doesn't until I switch it off, I've
done a restore and this solved the problem but when I installed SP3 again,
I'm back to the same problem.

First, make sure the machine is malware and viruses free by running a
thorough scan!
Run disk clean up on your Drive and read these info here:

Error message when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "Access is
denied" or “Service Pack installation did not complete”

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

Open a notepad and copy and paste the following into it and save as
update.bat on your desktop. Double click the bat file to excute and click
[Yes to register the dlls and reboot your machine and see if that will help!

regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
