Default This site requires either Internet Explorer 4+, Netscape 6+ or any browser powered by Gecko

My operating system is Windows XP with IE6 web browser, why am I receiving
the following messages.
Is it the case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing. Is
there a simple solution to remove these annoying warnings.

Web Browser Software Limitations

Your Current Software Will Limit Your Ability to Use Hotmail

Hotmail supports the following web browsers:

a.. Microsoft Internet Explorer - version 4.0 or higher.
b.. Netscape Navigator versions 4.7 and higher.
We recommend that you upgrade your web browsing software and invite
you to download Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 .

Thank you for your interest in Windows Update

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the
most out of your computer.

You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use
Windows Update.

This can be caused by several things. Add-On applications, adware or
possibly some security software you have installed on your system,
antivirus, firewall, etc. is blocking that ability of Hotmail to correctly
determine your browser.
To check for adware, download, install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com

Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and run a scan of your
system.

Check the options of any security software you are running on your system to
be sure it is not blocking something that might result in this issue. The
easiest way is to turn off such applications one by one and see if you can
then access Hotmail after each one. Before attempting access, be sure to
clear the cache as follows:
In IE, go to Tools, select Internet Options, on the General tab click Delete
Cookies, Delete Files and accept the option to delete all offline content
and Clear History.
