Answer 1

IE6 is a Security risk to use and is not supported or compatible with most websites any longer.

XP is a Security risk in itself to use online.

You will have to find a suitable browser > use a different computer to download it > transfer on flash drive, then install it > and take your chances online.

The problem is most web browser manufacturers no longer support XP.

That's OK.

Google doesn't support Chrome on XP or Vista.

And this month is the end of support for Firefox for XP.
