Thanks Trotter. I needed the grat comment at this time. Perfect.
Just wanted to give people a heads up to trying to slipstream SP3 onto a MCE disc. As that is what is causing all of this grief. Using just a plain old XP disc. Works.
Blasted fools.....
Always forgetting about MCE......
Why did they bother to release it......
No updates to it in 3 years.........
