Not being able to windows update

[Jorge E jaramillo]

After I formatted and reinstalled Windows XP on my 3 year old Dell, now I
can windowsupdate. I go into the update webpage and after it searches the
web and the PC, it gives me a message that can not proceed and that should
look for some help here (newsgroup).

Doesn't windows update work for old equipment? Mine is a valid PC no
pirating.

Hello Jorge,

Download and install SP1 and then SP3, after that try again.
