Install security patch ms03-031 on sql2k sp3 server

Tried to install security patch ms03-031 on sql2k sp3
server, but got message said that there is no valid
instance for the patch. Anyone else had this problem?I would first run Select @.@.version from Query Analyzer to verify that the
version is 2000.8.00.760 (SP3)

Yes, I did that and even tried to reapply sp3 but still
can't install that patch with same message. Any other
reasons?
