I get this message when I go to windows update site:

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/.

I've had XP pro installed for several years and update has always worked
perfectly. Is anyone else having this problem?

Jeff
