Are you installing SP3 for SQL 2005 Standard or Express editions?

According to Microsoft, the standard edition will not work on XP Home.

System mechanic or professional failure code 323-a

This error comes usually on system with Service pack 3.
The reason why this message comes on the system is the service pack 3 is either currpted or not installed properly.

" The 323 error can occur when using the Standard Edition release of the 1.0 version of the Microsoft Systems Management Server program. It happens when the Systems Management Server is used with the non-U.S.
version of the Microsoft SQL Server version 4.21a. The 323 error appears in the Systems Management Server event log. It is logged because of a discrepancy in the settings for the two programs. The required time and date format for the Systems Management Server is different from the format used in the SQL Server. It may happen when the
French version of the SQL Server is installed on a U.S. version of Windows NT wherein French is the default language used for the SQL Server "

Pro tools m-powered problem

You may need to check to see which "service pack" you are currently on.

See below requirements:

System Software — Windows XP & Vista
  • Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Edition
    • 32-bit OS Installation Only
  • Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
    • With Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3

  • Not Supported:
    • Windows Vista 64-bit (any version)
    • Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
    • Windows XP Media Center Edition
    • Windows 98, Me, 2000, NT, 95, 3.1, DOS

  • Not Tested:
    • Windows Vista Home and Home Premium Edition
    • Although Windows Vista Home and Home Premium Edition have not been tested or qualified by Digidesign, there are currently no known issues with Vista Home and Home Premium 32-bit operating systems and Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4 compared to the supported Windows Vista Business or Ultimate Edition operating systems.

Windows Vista SP1
There are currently no known issues with Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista based on our initial limited testing and customer feedback. Although full qualification with all Digidesign products has not been completed, we do not recommend against updating to SP1, given the number of important overall system fixes in SP1. We do recommend that you backup your system and create a restore point before updating to SP1, should you encounter any problems after installing the update.
