> Update Versions: SP1; Q828750; Q328970
You shouldn't have been able to apply those updates in that order.
That last one was
<title>KB328970 - MS02-066: November, 2002, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer</title>
which would have been superseded by
<TITLE>828750 - MS03-040: October, 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer</TITLE>
So, which versions of all those affected modules do you actually have
installed?
Otherwise your symptom could indicate a problem with User-Agent.
Here's an excerpt from a previous reply about that. (Note: the actual
poster I was replying to had tried to paraphrase the error message;
so some of the wording may seem inappropriate as a direct reply
to your post.)

One possibility is that your User Agent string is either unusual
or being altered on the path to the remote application, e.g. by a firewall.
Check your User Agent string by entering the following in an
IE Address bar:
javascript
:navigator.userAgent
(Note: that property name is case sensitive.)
Check what is being transmitted by using the following link:
<
http://www.gemal.dk/browserspy/basic.html >
Another possibility is that your scripting support is deficient in some
way; so poke around that site and see if any discrepancies pop up.
Since we don't know the exact text it may also be valid to suggest
that you use the Windows Update Troubleshooter
<
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...ndows%20Update >
and look at the item:
When using the Windows Update Web site you receive
the following message: Thank you ... Windows Update site
no longer offers updates for your computer
The same resolution is suggested for this problem:
When attempting to access the Windows Update Web site
you receive the following message: Thank You -- you must be running
a Microsoft windows operating system in order to use windows update
It's another registry hack. This time related to User Agent.
So if either of the above messages are the real one
those diagnostics I suggested will be significant clues.
Good luck
