I downloaded this KB982316 patch using Opera 12.18 because Seamonkey didn't work.
I used the link Krusty provided:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18770
Information about this patch seems still incomplete. One MS site says it's for XP-SP3 AND server 2008, but another only mentions the server. So I'm not installing it yet. Should I?

I had no problem installing the first patch KB4012598 from the MS catalog. So far no issues.

 

My new laptop has Windows 10 but I still use daily my old desktop. If possible can anyone recommend the important recent Windows XP Security Patches that I should install on my old desktop computer. If so I would appreciate it very much; and if possible where I should go to acquire them. As always I appreciate all replies and would thank you in advance.

Thank you JR for this link.
The descriptions mention the Telephony TAPI update. Perhaps it's for Win-XP-pro? I can't make any sense out of MS writeups, so still no plan to install that "dud". I use pro and have never been able to stop the Telephony service. Tried 10 years ago, tried today, no go.

 

If I were you, I would enable POSReady and download all updates offered (they include security Updates that MS released for general public) - https://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/24/get-security-updates-windows-xp-april-2019/
