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

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.)
