Re: nothing in the page

You can use Internet Connection Sharing possible. A WSUS Server too. Or if you can get the one to be updated just to search the Windows Update site, select them all, copy/paste the results into a notepad file then search the KB number on the Microsoft site to download the redistributable. Take them to the other machine & double-click each one in turn

I suppose I can update the win xp to sp3. However, is there another way where
if we do not want to update till sp3 (been old computer and worried it may
have problems with drivers etc). Take for example for my own pc, when I do a
freshinstallation, its sp2 and plus update using custom>all other updates
excluding sp3 (the last option under custom). Will try your option next time
and thanks for your response.
BTW, all the while using IE and not FF
