Internet access after uninstall SP3

[Dean475]

I needed to uninstall SP3 because of problems with a software package that I
use daily. After successfully uninstalling SP3 I can not access the internet
via IE 7. I am running XP Pro. Any ideas on how to resolve?? Should I try
to reinstall SP 3 and if so then what?? As I do need to remove SP3. I have
uninstalled SP3 on another machine without this problem.

After reinstall of SP 3 I have Internet access again. How can I safely
uninstall SP3 and retain Inernet Access???

Not if this applies to you but Microsoft hasindicated that if you
install SP 3 after IE 7, you will not be able to unstall IE 7 without
first uninstall SP3. So, since you have uninstalled SP3, try
uninstalling IE 7 after. Then, if IE 6 works correctly, you could
(repeat could) install SP3 and then update to IE 7.
