No, the actual issue is that IF I.E. 7 is installed at the time you
install SP3, you cannot UNinstall I.E.7. You would need to UNinstall SP3
first, and then you could uninstall I.E. 7. If you aren't planning to
ever uninstall I.E.7, no biggie.

SP3 will update whichever version of 6 or 7 of Internet Explorer that
you currently have installed in the instance of Windows XP that is being
updated. There is no need to uninstall Internet Explorer, any version.
Read the overview notes for SP-3. It tells you exactly what it will do
regarding Internet Explorer.

That's just what I did. Loaded my SP2 OEM and applied the SP3 to it
post install. Along with new WU patches. I tried making a CD and
slipstream SP3 into it with my OEM Dell CD, but it did not work.
My suggestion is however, if you want to waste 20 cents on a CD and some
time, I would find a resource for slipstream (and there are a good few
different ones), and apply SP3 to your CD and burn a new one. Then wne
you have to reload, you can try loading it and proofing it. If it
fails, hell, you backed everything up, and you wasted an hour trying to
reload. But no harm.
If it works, you now know you got a better OEM CD to use.

OK, I made a mistake with what I said about IE7 but not the rest. My
bad. Oh, and why don't you go and play with your daddy's dick.

IE7 does not come with XP. It is optional for XP. XP ships with IE6. Your
OEM cd will most likely not have IE7 on it.

"Internet Explorer
If you have installed Windows Internet Explorer® 7 or a beta version of
Internet Explorer 8, and then install Windows XP SP3, you cannot uninstall
Internet Explorer.
To avoid this, ensure Internet Explorer 7 or a beta version of Internet
Explorer 8 is not installed before installing Windows XP SP3.
If you have already encountered this issue, uninstall Windows XP SP3,
uninstall Internet Explorer, and then reinstall Windows XP SP3."
