Tech ARP article on SP3 has been updated, should be out around 10 June 08. So this means that the SP3 available now is not official and the one which will be released at June will have a newer version of SP3 which has the fix. No point downloading and installing the current SP3.

Actually, the link acedriver posted should be the official RTM version of Service Pack 3. It is just not available for auto-update by Windows Update right now.

Ya just re-installing XP on the other machine the silly thing is you need IE6 or better to DL SP2 because you can't with Firefox off the MS site. So you have to DL IE6 ... then SP2 and then IE7. Kind of redundant isn't it ?

When you DL SP2 directly off the MS site it asks for IE6 or better unless you use auto update ... np and sorted here SP3 is next
