Impact : Low – in the case of Internet Explorer 8 Beta, a Windows Update detection script will be in place. It will not offer SP3 to IE8 beta users.

KB Content : KB950719»

This is not, I hope, to be interpreted to mean that I shall be unable to install SP 3 on my present (updated) Windows XP Home SP 2 setup when the former becomes available in a Swedish-language version on 5 May ?...

No, you can install SP3 but you will not be able to uninstall IE7 or IE8 Beta after you do that.

Is there a new version lately?

No, I have the same release and still no errors so far.

I prefer to download the file separately so I don't have to use Windows Update everytime I reinstall the system not that I do that too often. Right now I'm still using the Pro version installed 4 years ago!

You might as well slipstream the service packs into the installation disc of Windows XP to save you some time

The software to use is nLite IIRC

I know, I've done it but not with nLite. Thanks.

Address Bar on taskbar missing. This is no longer available at the request of the US Department Of Justice (DOJ)

WTF?

Hi,

I have exactly the problem described for ATI Catalyst:

"ATI Catalyst Unified Software Suite 8.2
ATI
Unable to rotate the desktop screen using ATI display drivers on Dell Optipelx 745"

However, I do not have a Dell computer and I did not have the Catalyst Software Suite before, I had older drivers. And upgrading to the latest Software Suite (6.11) available for my ATI Radeon 7000 card did not help. Also using a restore point I had set before installing SP3 did not do any good either.

I contated ATI support (now AMD), but they told me that my graphics card is too old to be eligible for any kind of support.

(

I really need to rotate my desktop screen! If anyone comes up with a solution, please post it here and/or send me a message. Thank you!

Adrian Wong · 14th May 2008, 12:38 AM

Hmm.. You do have a really old card. Have you tried an older driver?
