Hi, Hope someone can help me. I run a Pentium 4 machine with Windows XP
Media Centre Edition. I did the update to IE8 and then install SP3 thing
that other people have had trouble with. I had trouble too, so I
un-installed IE8 but got into the problems others have had with that. To cut
a long story short I managed to get back to IE7 and recovered my settings for
that. I un-installed SP3 and got my machine back to pretty much how it was.
Now I want to install SP3 but Windows update won't offer it to me as it seems
to think I already have it installed. The thing is, I want to run this
computer as part of my home lan and my sons computer running Vista cannot see
my XP machine. I want to install the LLD file but when I download that fix
it wont install as it says I already have a more recent version on my
machine, which I do not! So it seems to me that I have to get rid of the
registry entry or whatever it is that tells the whole Microsoft network that
I still have these things that I once installed but no longer have. If
anyone knows a way to do this, I would be very grateful to have your advice.
regards, Steve
