Hi,

Windows XP (Home) SP2, and it was IE7, fully updated, lots of RAM and disk space.

I downloaded the official SP3 from Microsoft using Microsoft Update. So far I havent had any "Operational" problems that I am aware of. It did convert IE7 to IE6 and I was just wondering why? Can anyone say or have you heard of others having this same reversion of IE happening?

Thanks for any Info.



Well, sp3 comes with IE6 with the latest security updates but it should have downgraded to 6, so something must of gone wrong. The only thing it should do is stop IE7 from being uninstalled by you or anybody.

Correct way to upgrade:
