Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)
When I attempt to go to Windows update, I get the following message.

Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.

"This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems
only.
To find updates for Microsoft products that are designed for Macintosh
operating systems, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mac/. "

If I owned a Mac, I would not have a problem. However I have a Dell PC and
Windows XP Pro.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how do I get around it?

See if the information on this web site helps.

Are you using Firefox? Winblows-- err, I mean, Windows Update is not compatible with Firefox.

Well, what happens with Automatic Updates?
Will that install the updates, or not?

Ask here unless you can find the update group in that web interface you are
using.
