Where do I find the SP3 file so I can check. I found the install date on IE8, it was 1/18/2004. When did SP3 come out?

I see no way to determin when it was installed using ADD Remove Programs. Where on the computer does it reside?

OK we will have to uninstall SP3, uninstall IE8 and then reinstall SP3..
A bit of a bind I am afraid
Download SP3 from here
1.Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
2.When the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Removal Wizard starts, click Next.
3.Follow the instructions on the screen to remove Windows XP SP3.
Reboot
Uninstall IE8
Install SP3
Install IE8

I REALLY have a problem now. During the uninstall process for SP3, I got that momentary flash of a blue screen and then it crashed. Windows came back up and gave me the "recovered from a serious error" message again. I went to Add Remove Programs just to check and both SP3 and IE8 were both still there. I tried to get back online to make this post and when IE came up it looked weird and my Google searchbar was gone. I went to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer to check and see if inded I still had IE8 and when I hovered over the executable it said it was version 6. I can't do anything or go anywhere online except just sit on the MSN homepage. I had to go to my laptop to log on and post this.

OK. I'm back. IE8 is installed and I can navigate again. Sphincter factor now reduced from 9.4 to 3.6. What's next boss?

First wipe the brow
So the attempted uninstall of SP3 managed to uninstall IE8 before it gave up
OK next plan of attack is to determine what problems remain
Give it a good work out and let me know what problems you experience

I haven't noticed much difference and I still get 100% CPU usage regularly when on the web. Maybe I just need to jack up the inspection sticker and drive a new 'puter under it and be done with it.

Could you disable the addons in IE8 and see if that makes any difference

Do you experience the same problems in Firefox ? I am thinking that this is a software problem within XP
The update is to do with daylight saving time... What error code do you get with it
