I have just uninstalled SP1 due to the non display of pictures in IE6 without having to individually r-click - show picture on each image. Definatly an SP1 problem as after uninstalling, everything is back to normal.

*** UPDATE ***

I have just installed the one from Windows Update rather than the 133Mb standalone package and the image problem is not there. I have just done this on 4 different machines and the problem is only in the standalone full package.

I did notice though that MS had a IE6 SP1 package also on WIndows Update & I have yet to install this. The IE6 SP1 could be the culprit and is autonatically installed on the standalone XP SP1 download.

Just phoned Microsoft on 0870 60 10 100 and ask for Microsoft Direct Services Dept and they will send out a cd with the update, only snag is that they are out of stock and they only got them yesterday!! but can take anything from now to 5 weeks.

TTFN......... :) :p :)

If you already are up to date with your patchs anyway, the express download should only be around 40Mb then (which it was for me).

i downloaded the full 133Mb file standalone and didn't have the image problem with IE.
5hours on ISDN!

Mines on auto update, it just downloads it while I surf and tells me when its ready to instal!

Ahhh the bliss of a 1 meg line ;-) Hope they don't cut me off my last DD bounced - opps :D

You can get around it but I am not going to say how though :D

Fully legit here. Cannot afford not to be in business.

Yes, sometimes I wonder why Microsoft bother putting these things in their installs, it is just pointless. I mean Devils Own released XP 30 days before Bill. Has anyone seen the pick with Bill holding the copy of XP?
