How do I get past this roadblock?

I'd like to get the SP3 updates for the version on
the restore DVD but can't get windows update to
work.

I take it something about the old v6 doesn't like
the windows update site.


XP SP3:

You have SP1a or SP2 right? If not then you might need to install
something from here first:

After this updates should be straight forward.

You might need IE8 to work for other updates.

No, I have SP3. The problem is IE6 doesn't work with microsoft update. I think this is
new.

Explain the "something from here first," which sounds like the right path.
