XP Operating System Not Recognized

[Guest V]

My system is a Gateway that runs XP. I went to Microsoft to check for updates

and got the message below:

 

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/.

 

This is a new occurrence. What can I do to fix it.
