So yes, IE updates are separate from the OS. Okay, you're on an XP system, and XP updates are unavailable. Please tell me how you get an update for your unsupported version of IE?
AFAIK, and this is the key: THE FACT THAT YOU'RE RUNNING XP MAKES YOU INELIGIBLE FOR ANY UPDATES, including IE updates.
If you know different, please post a link to the Microsoft page that says so. I'd sure like to have that link to give to my family and friends who are still running XP and will be calling me for help.

Prepare to suffer the consequences of stupid decisions.

FYI I just installed Windows XP Pro on one of my PCs yesterday just for kicks. I also installed Windows 7 on a separate partition but that's not relevant. It did let me install like 150 Microsoft updates. I have recently installed Windows XP Home edition on another PC but it wouldn't let me do any updates. Looks like they haven't totally stopped the XP Pro support.
