SP3?

Shenan, if I understand you correctly XP Pro SP3 cannot accomodate
any version of IE beyond version 6? So, you uniinstall version to
get back to version 6, then update? Reason I'm asking is that the
Microsoft Update Web-site made no mention of my needing to
uninstall IE 7. I will wait for your reply before I go ahead assume
anything, or D/L SP3.

You do not understand.

Windows XP with SP3 can have IE6, IE7 or IE8 beta installed.

The trick is only in what you have installed *before* installing SP3 onto a
system.

If you have IE6 installed before you install SP3 - you can upgrade to IE7
and roll back to IE6 at any time. You can also try out IE8 beta and roll
back to IE7 or IE6 at anytime.

If you have IE7 installed before you install SP3 - you cannot roll back to
IE6 without first uninstalling SP3. You can upgrade to IE8 beta and roll
back to IE7, but without uninstalling SP3 first - you cannot uninstall IE7
to go back to IE6.

In general - if you have IE8 beta installed - you should uninstall it before
installing anything major - like a service pack - after all - IE8 is a BETA.
