IE Service Pack Causing Trouble

According to an article written by Paul Thurrot this weekend, installing Windows IE 5.01 SP1 may not be worth it at all. It seems that the installation has caused problems with Microsoft's Office 2000, and Office 2000 SR1a. The update to Internet Explorer apparently breaks the help available in these programs, but can be fixed with the proper registry editing steps. Thurrott reports, "it is with some reluctance that I must advise users against downloading and install IE 5.01 SP1, unless you're comfortable with a little Registry editing."
