Before Installing XP SP3

It is important to make sure that all of your pending updates are installed before installing XP SP3. ..If one fails to install pending updates, there will be many failed attempts to install anything pending -…bottom line if this happens - just uninstall XP3 from add/remove programs and download all hot fixes again from the beginning (ignoring XP3) - then when all hot fixes including IE7 are installed to complete restart satisfaction, - install XP3 for a clean experience.

You don’t need to update to IE7 to make the update work. You forgot to mention that you need all of the drivers for your accessories up to date otherwise they may not work. Also the SP3 updates can be installed separately if you choose to do so. That way you can choose what to update. Hope this helps :-)
