I have used Win98 since 98. I really didn't care to upgrade, but it seems there's just too much stuff that dont work in 98 anymore. I just bought another (used) computer with XP installed, and will keep my Win98 computer as it is. That way I can use either one. The old one was too slow for XP...

Fascinating how this works, using OE to post. I've never used usenet or the like before. Very interesting. Thanks for the info, I expect I will try the program 'fix' available from this guy http://members.aol.com/rloew1/ Anyone think it might be worth the ten bucks?

Well, it took almost 20 years but it finally happened. It's amazing what a small batch file (maybe not so small - it has vaporized... read on) can do. Those bored with my gargantuan posts can just skim over most of it (please read the SUMMARY paragraphs), but I would really appreciate specific...

Can someone please explain in clear, direct English, as opposed to what is on the WU site, what loss in OS or IE functionality will result from downloading the latest two security updates? (KB867282 & KB891781) For the previous update, I lost Help Troubleshooter, but managed to bring it back...

Bit of an emergency guys, running Win98SE!! I just tried to install the Google translate program which I got from, I thought, a legit site. After the install, asks me to reboot, think its a virus because it wont let me boot up, when I click CTL-ALT-DEL, everything is gone from the window, I suspect...

Hi gang... (The complaints and comments in this post apply to FFox ver 1.8.1.20 since I am still using 98SELite.) I can hardly believe I'm doing this, but I am going to be using FFox a lot because while Opera is supremely configurable and intelligently designed and I have been using it for...

Hi, anyone can provide me a copy of the Windows 98 Second Edition. I need to upgrade my old Windows 98 and be able to install a Netgear 108 mbps Wireless PC Card. Appreciate any help! -- normanny

Back in 2007, when Gary Terhune was active here, I installed the "Grystmill Unofficial Time Zones Update" for W98. At the time it seemed OK, but I've noticed, and particularly this recent DST adjustment, I have to adjust the time manually, and no longer on cold boot get the usual windows...

Please recommend one. Also, any advice on how to remove Zone Alarm v.6.0...? It's in my backup Win 98. Don't use it often so I missed the warnings about that version becoming unsupported. I was advised in another group to get "Perfect Uninstaller". It won't install. Error messages. A good site...

Since the update website does not work mostly any more and all updates have to be collected by hand somewhere, I just came over the problem of updating the standard root certificates in w98se. The MS sais that the update is for all above w95, but how to download the upload and where? I tried to...
