Can't get windows updates

[Guest]

Trying to log on and download windows updates and all I receive is the
message below:

"Thank you for your interest in Windows Update
Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the
most out of your computer.
You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use
Windows Update."

Why won't it recorgnize my XP system?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Updates only work if you have SP1 or SP2. Do you?
