I realise some of these links were previously posted, but thought this collection might be of assistance. Feel free to add any other useful SP3 links.

No need to apologize about potential redundancies, Joe... it's great to have all of these collected and organized into one location.

I will explain the link for Windows XP Home Edition service pack 3 in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14
If I try to enter a link the Firefox browser goes into window mode.

If you have a Dell Wireless 350 bluetooth module (notebook computers) you may need to dig up the version 5 Toshiba bluetooth stack/driver from the Toshiba site (v5.10.12, iirc). I'm not sure when a Dell release of a tested driver for XP SP3 will be available nor whether the version 6 driver will work or not with the 350 on XP SP3, unfortunately.
[edit] v5.10.14 of the Toshiba driver works better

henry, back up your important data, then use add/remove programs to uninstall SP3, in safe mode
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33246 use this guide
then follow these precautions if you wish to install it at a future date
