I gather that the SP 3 is not that critical and since I cannot get it to download, rather than trying to get it, can i remove the Icon from the tray?
many thanks

I don't think you can remove it because I could not find out how.
If you got all other MS updates then you really don't need SP3.

I was reading this thread here.

Then I got the SPBlockerTools from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en that is posted in the thread.

I ran the SPBlockerTools and it took the icon away from the clock.
Plus when you go to MS Update and it scans for updates it will not show SP3.

Anyhow I had troubles with SP3 and it also slowed things down so I uninstalled it and the PC runs better.
Now I know I will not install it again from MS Update because it will not show up or will I see the icon by the clock about it.

Click the notification icon. When the window opens, In the next window that appears put a check in the box next to
" Do not show me this update again. "
Click OK.
That will Hide SP3.

I could do that on all updates but on SP3 it was grayed out so I could not hide it.
