Default Where can I download the Updates/Patches to use when I reinsta

even a single Service Pack.

Well that's no surprise since no service pack was ever released for Win
Me.

My ME System is not on the internet so I have to use
the download service.


Rather than use the Microsoft Download Centre use the Windows Update
Catalogue (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp)
which is a site that forms part of the Windows Update site but intended
for use in the circumstances you describe. That is it allows users to
download patches to another PC running say XP and then transfer them to
the off-line Win Me PC where they can be installed. The Windows Update
Catalogue currently has 64 critical patches for those running an English
version of Win Me (not all of which are required due to more than one
browser version being included), 9 other patches and 75 multi-language
updates.

When I go to the download site, even restricting the search to Windows
Millennium Edition, it gives me hundreds of results that don't have
to do anything with Windows ME but many other Microsoft Products.
Furthermore, in the list there are very few downloads for ME, not
even a single Service Pack.

Does anybody know what the reason is and how I can get the Service
Packs for ME? My ME System is not on the internet so I have to use
the download service.

Thanks in advance
