1. Uninstall SP3 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot *twice*.
How to remove Windows XP Service Pack 3 from your computer

WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation [&
uninstall]

=> If the behavior does not persist, STOP & reply to this thread. Do NOT
reinstall SP3 yet!
=> If the behavior persists:
2. Uninstall IE7 *exactly* per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html
[Ignore any references to Vista; Only use the Command method
(%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe) if you cannot uninstall 'WIndows
Internet Explorer 7' via Add/Remove Programs; It's safe to ignore any
warnings that such-and-such might not work if you uninstall it.]
IE7 (Un)Installation and Anti-Malware Applications:

IE7 or SP3 yet!
=> If the behavior does not persist:
3. (Re)install SP3 per
http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/windows-xp-sp3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx
and reboot twice.
=> If the behavior returns, STOP & reply to this thread. Do NOT reinstall
IE7 yet!
=> If the behavior does not persist:
4. Reinstall IE7 *exactly* per Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10
& #11; take note of #12, then STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)
And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.
Alternately, use this Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b
Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.
Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.
