Did you install WinXP SP3 via Windows Update or manually?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were ANY of these applications running in the background when you
installed SP3 (and/or SP2)?
The above notwithstanding:
1. Write down what .NET Framework versions are already installed before you
go uninstalling/removing any of them!
How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and
whether service packs have been applied
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785
2. Now see Resolutions Methods 1 or 2 in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 (ignore the title).
If no joy, see this related post by my colleague MowGreen:
