Your computer is too old. If 320 MB is the maximum size of RAM, then any upgrading does not make sense at all. Windows 2000 is no option too. Use your Windows XP installation and try the WSUS server method which uses WUMT to get access to MU. You can find it in this thread or here: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/restore-windows-update-for-windows-xp-server-2003.82538/ 
No need then to run ProxHTTPSProxy at all!

You need an OS which supports modern browsers to surf the WWW. Windows 2000 is outdated like Windows ME either. As I told you twice before the best choice for your computer is a lightweight Linux Distribution  such as Q4OS (Trinity Desktop). This OS supports older hardware, 32 Bit processors and more recent browsers. Otherwise you have to stay at Windows XP having very slow speed, missing some features and accepting to get system freezes from time to time.

My computer isn't slow at all.

I want an old system (it's not my main computer, it's just for fun).

Si I will try WSUS Proxy to update it.

And I like surfing the www with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

But thanks for helping me.  

Il bought this old computer 3$, so you can guess that it's not for daily use.

If it doesn't work, I will say hello to Microsoft Windows 98.

Without ProxHTTPSProxy only a few sites and a lot of errors. Even with ProxHTTPSProxy not much better. IE is outdated and, sad to say, crap. You have to use Firefox 45 SSE or New Moon SSE releases.

A guide to install Microsoft Update manually

Here is a complete guide to install Microsoft Update in Xp:

First you need to download these files: 

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/mucltui.cab

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/mucltui_en.cab

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/microsoftupdate/a/selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/muweb.cab

Replace at mucltui_en.cab with your language. For example: mucltui_de.cab for German.

 

Open the archives.

Copy muweb.dll from the archive muweb.cab to system32.

Copy mucltui.dll from the archive mucltui.cab to system32.

Copy mucltui.dll.mui_? from the archive mucltui_? to system32.

Register only the 2 files muweb.dll and mucltui.dll with regsvr32.

 

Configure IE:

Add the pages http://update.microsoft.com http://www.update.microsoft.com and https://www.update.microsoft.com to the Trusted Sites and set the security level to high. 

If it is not available, click Reset first.

Call up this page now and follow the instructions: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en

If the Check for Updates button doesn´t work, close IE and click on Microsoft Update in the start menu.

 

Don´t forget! You need httpsproxy or ProxhttpsProxy otherwise you will get error 0x80072EFF!

Only tested under XP!

Have fun trying.

@WULover has no activation problem. Unfortunately, your instructions are for a different problem.

 

Did you even read the posts above? I don't really think so. ProxhttpsProxy doesn't work in his Windows XP system, probably due to the lack of SSE2 feature. Therefore your instructions do not make any sense.

It is intended to be a general guide as the Activex control for Microsoft Update doesn't work automatic download anymore. It´s for all users.

Ok, give it a headline so it can be better classified! I took it to help @WULover. Sorry!

I think you mean archive instead of folder. muweb.cab and mucltui.cab are cab archives actually.

Of course, if you can change it, do it! It should be a SSE2 capable CPU But more RAM would be important too. But be aware, your mainboard meaning the onboard socket and the current BIOS have to support the new CPU! Does the WSUS method work in your system?
