Just because web browsers support Windows 2000 doesn't mean sites will
accept connections from those web browsers. Rather than test a web
browsing client for its capabilities, many sites still use the User
Agent string sent by the web browser to determine if the site will work
with that web browser.

This will be a stopgap measure to keep their computer going unitl I
can find the simplest way to get them upgraded with only
non-technical people around to help.

I'm happily using SeaMonkey 2.26.1 on WinXP Pro SP3 .
I've never bothered to play with the UA string.

Looks like Seamonkey reveals the OS and version on which it runs.

Shows Seamonkey's UA string shows Windows 2000 as the client's OS
version. So a site can still decide whether or not to let connect a
client running on that OS. Personal experience is limited as to
ascertaining if sites will allow the OP's customers to connect or not.
