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.

Ron,

A few days ago, after a computer crash, I had to reinstall XP Home SP2 and
had problems connecting to the update site until I installed SP3. Once that
was done, all went without a hitch downloadind and installing over a 130
updates.

Whilst this is not your version of Windows, I hope this helps?
