I'm not sure where to start to isolate my problems with I.E.7 and SP3.
I did have some issues loading some web pages with I.E. 7 before SP3, but it happened rarely, and inconsistantly, so I didn't worry about it too much. Maybe I had more issues than I noticed, because now if I have an issue with a website that might be a problem with I.E. I test it by using Firefox.
Of course I didn't uninstall I.E.7 before installing SP3 and then reinstall I.E. 7
I get web pages, including microsoft download sites that hang, pages that come back with run time errors, links to You tube video that try to load and then I get a message: We're sorry, this video is no longer available.
When trying to get to www.ticketmaster.ca I sometimes but not always get this message:
' Please note.

We impose these limits to protect the web site from automated programs, as part of our efforts to promote fair access to tickets. Please allow several minutes and then try again. ' (this one happened with first try going to website, what limits?).
I have none of these issues with Firefox, so I know I have a problem with
I.E. 7, SP3 or both.
I've tried I.E. without add ons, clearing cache, temp files etc with no difference.
So, if I'm going to uninstall SP3 and uninstall I.E. 7, reinstall SP3 and then reinstall I.E. 7 is there anything I should do before going thru that process? (Besides a backup and SP3: Up your chances of a good install). What will happen to my I.E. add ons if I uninstall I.E. 7? Should I disable them before uninstalling I.E. 7? How about my settings? Will I lose my preferences in I.E.? I will export my favorites just in case.

Your 'do this first' list. Is that to do before uninstalling SP3 and then I.E. 7 or before reinstalling SP3 and then I.E. 7? I have RegSupreme Pro. I believe that should be all I need for cleaning up the registry, right?
RegSupreme Pro is very good but CCleaner has a gentler safer Reg clean but also has Temp cleaning and other features.
Same for ATF-Cleaner.
Likely were you to run RegSupreme Pro and then CCleaner Reg clean it would find things RegSupreme Pro missed. But then in reverse order and the opposite would find some.
One temp cleaner or Reg cleaner is usually not enough.
Run RegSupreme Pro but in this case the temps are more important I think.
The entire post in the other thread was before resorting to a reinstall et.
Okay Mike. If I understand you correctly, you want me to do your list and see if my problems are fixed before I do any uninstalling reinstalling stuff. I have some of those clean up tools already but I'll download the others and go thru your list, in order, tomorrow, and post back.
I have GoBack and recent backups. This is my only home PC.

Yes!
GoBack and images are fantastic but a System restore is still important and a faster fix when it works.
Out of curiosity why go to internet options thru control panel rather than thru I.E. ?
Because IE not running this way and has no active open files or processes even the home page!

Also, if it doesn't help, can I put settings the way I had them before Reset?
It disables browser add ons. Can I get them back enabled thru Manage add ons after?
No big deal! And why would it matter if in the end you end up uninstalling and reinstalling. All these will come back either thru updates or auto installs when you click a link that requires them. Remember "This site requires Macromedia... yada yada yada.

I don't walk dogs. I open door tell dog "be back in and hour" sometimes he is a little late but mostly he is on time!
