sp3 install/uninstall problem
Hi all
I need to revert back to ie6 from ie7 but have to uninstall sp3 first. Here is my problem Winver and add or remove programs both tell me that SP3 is installed, but when I attempt to uninstall SP3 the computer tells me it cannot be unnstalled because it is NOT INSTALLED. Appreciate any helpful response. TIA. OS Winxp Pro, Media Center Edition franktee KWV

sp3 install/uninstall problem
What problems are you having that you think uninstalled IE7 might resolve?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer? Did a Norton or McAfee free-trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.) • How to remove Windows XP Service Pack 3 from your computer as a troubleshooting step http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 franktee wrote: I need to revert back to ie6 from ie7 but have to uninstall sp3 first.
