Using the version 6 internet explorer.
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.
I was simply suggesting that you need SP1a or SP2. I suggest install
this small file and your SP3 will go smoothly:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19751
This will install SP1a and then you can install SP3.
After that you need to download IE8 from he
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx
If the above link doesn't work then try from he
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=IE8+download&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&channel=fe&client=browser-ubuntu&hl=en-gb&gws_rd=cr,ssl&ei=tbzrVYiZO-3X7Aa166SQBA
The first item is for the official IE8 download from Microsoft. I am
using Linux so I can't test the links as Microsoft doesn't allow me to
download IE8 for obvious reasons.
