Guest Menta Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Every time I try to access Windows Update I'm met with the following message: "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/." Unfortunately, my computer is a Compaq Presario pc running MS Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 w/AMD Sempron 3500+ 994MHz 1.43 GB RAM, NOT a Macintosh! Has anyone here ever heard of such a thing? I'm scanning my entire system right now with an antivirus program. I tried getting help from Micro$oft but THEY WANTED ME TO PAY for any such help (which ironically makes me wish my pc was a Mac, and now my next computer may very well be a Mac!), so I'm posting here in the hope that maybe folks here can advise me. Thanks!
