Most recently, I installed IE7 two times. Both times it would self-scroll, having a mind of its own, for the first two or three seconds of opening a new page. Drove me nuts. Something was not right. That couldn't have been a "default" setting.

I could try downloading and installing it again, but I ended up adding Firefox instead which is a very nice internet program.

I thought there might have been a certain required sequencing of installation of Microsoft programs such as requiring the installation IE7 first that caused the SP3 to uninstall itself. I've heard of such things.

I had both installed at one time a few weeks ago. But I had a problem with my Money program and those help people told me to uninstall IE7 and revert to SP2 to try to fix the problem with their program. Oiu vey!

My desktop computer and OS are 5 years old. I have a recently purchased laptop with Vista. I think I will just wait for the desktop to die, and, in the meantime, back up to my external hard drive very often.
