If your copy of XP is really yours then validate it. Then it will update, other than that, find a hack site that will help you update it.. maybe with a nasty virus....
Really, if it is not a valid copy, live with it or buy one.. you cannot get dependable updates for stolen OSs.

Pay attention to any specific reasons why this would be; more often than not it is because your browser is set to refuse cookies, or javascript isn't enabled. Also, you HAVE to use Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer for their update site to work at all.
I'd update to the latest version of IE and then try the updates you're after.
Sometimes, if they have detected a pirated copy of Windows, they will not only cut off any further updates, but will slowly turn off portions of the operating system, ending with the kernel, over a 30 day period. Don't worry though, you'd have clearly seen this warning coming up.

To be honest, i'd both purchase a sparkling reproduction of living house windows XP (or in case you've already got a authentic reproduction, attempt that) flow for a replica of XP living house as its more low-priced. think ofyou've got a specilist seem at it or every person who you've self belief and understand in my view, yet operating a pirated version of XP is unlawful as you realize :(

If you did not buy the Window XP cd, then that would be the problem. Maybe you have a virus, make sure you have an updated virus scanner. If you have firewall make sure you are not blocking the updates.
