I am running Win XP and IE7. I am goig to uninstall IE7 through add/remove
programs, then am going to reinstall IE7. I need to know how to find out if I
have XP SP3 installed on my computer. I get automatic updates and updates are
shown in Add/Remove Programs. What KB# would it be? Thank you.

Why do you want to uninstall & reinstall?

In OE | Help | About, if you have SP3 it will show: Microsoft Outlook
Express 6 600.2900.5512.

It is listed in Add/Remove, not as a KB, but simply alphabetically as
Windows Service Pack 3

See these links first and download IE7 from the link provided with your
anti-virus turned off and all other programs closed.

These Release Notes should be read before installing IE7:

Right click on "My computer" icon and select properties and it should
tell you somewhere in the window that opens.

> Thank you. Great answer. It says Service Pack 2, so now I know I don't have SP3.

1. Uninstalling IE7
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html

[Only use the Command %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot
uninstall 'WIndows Internet Explorer 7' via Add/Remove Programs; it's safe
to ignore any warnings that such-and-such might not work if you uninstall
it.]

Because it's being rolled out in stages.

What Tom said.  Automatic Updates may offer you SP3 any day now, so be
prepared!
