I think everything I had before is still there.
Best to let it install through Auto updates. Click on the yellow shield and do a custom instal. Downloading from the MS site is 150mb, auto install is 60mb. I've found, like Houghy, that most of the puters I've had to repair after an install SP3 were running Nortons earlier versions, 2006 or earlier. They got more holes than a collander.
