I have just installed a fresh (legitimate) copy of Windows XP Home SP2 on a laptop and activated it.
I then used Windows Update to update it to SP3. This works fine with the caveat that the installation goes from 2.5Gb to about 4.5Gb
Any idea how I can reclaim some of this 2Gb?
My real question is that having installed SP3, I tried to upgrade MISE6 to MSIE7 - that keeps failing with the useful message that I should try it again. Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?
Incidentally, I do reboot between each step.
Thanks.
