Try to download the full install package. Windows Update can be
blocked or extremely slow.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Updates are not downloaded or the “Automatic Updates” icon does not display the status of
downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service
http://www.support.microsoft.com/kb/910340

It will happen but it could take several days. This is deliberately done so as not to
stress the MS servers too much.
If you manually download the update, this puts others in the Auto WU line further behind.

Went to WU site had to download windows genuine advantage.
sp3 came up as an update Stating it would take 25 minutes at my download
and installation speed to complete that it did, went smoothly everything
working fine , no problems.
I do believe I had OE7 , now OE properties Show OE6 is this due to SP3?.

There was never an OE7 only IE7.

If you have IE6 or IE7 before the installation of SP3, then you would have the same
version after installation.

It has been posted that if you install SP3 after having IE7 installed,
you will not be able to go back to IE6 once SP3 is installed.

Yes you can, it's just a bit more work -
