Answer 1

Yes it very weird, my fiance had the same problem, and I found a while ago when he download it we were doing some searching and we read that you are suppose to uninstall internet explorer 7 first and download sp3 and then download the internet explorer 7 again. I don't really know why, I wish I had the website for you but had to restore my computer and lost the website, hope everything works out for you.and good luck.

Answer 2

This is a problem that occurred with the release of SP3 in May of this year. I posted a solution below that fixes the problem and allows you to keep SP3. The problem isn't actually Microsoft's fault by the way, as you'll see in the link
