Why doesn't Windows Update work for you, darkrats?

Well one can always contact Microsoft, MM and see if they can help you.
Microsoft has been kind to me and I find it unfortunate that so many people have trouble with their products.

The update isn't listed in the Catalog for Win98/98SE, but it *is*
listed for Windows ME. Whether the ME version will install to Win98/98SE is open to investigation by some enterprising soul--perhaps yourself? (Just inspecting the version you have from your TIF folder and that listed for ME should show whether they are identical.) -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "Mostly Me (MM)" wrote in message ...

Yes, the one time I did speak with them they were very polite and helpful-- it was some hotfix you had to phone in for-- there was a bunch of hoopla over it in here about a year or so ago. But anyway, the fellow even stayed on the phone to verify I received the file in the email and it opened up fine. But, there was nothing they could help me with over the phone this time- the file I needed was sitting in my TIF folder. They must have known what I needed before I even asked. Talk about service!

From MS05-014:
quote Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium Edition critically affected by one or more of the vulnerabilities that are addressed in this security bulletin? Yes. Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition are critically affected by the vulnerabilities that are addressed in this security bulletin. Critical security updates for these platforms are available, are provided as part of this security bulletin, and can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site. /quote Let me repeat: "Critical security updates for these platforms...can be downloaded only from the Windows Update Web site." -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (Shell, IE/OE) & Security darkrats wrote: Can someone please direct me to the latest cumulative update for IE6SP1 for 98? Update 867282 MS05-014 I'm really in need of a manual download link for this, not through Windows Update. Thanks. |

Then you have more serious problems.

Ouch to your AOL users on dial-up. Cox Cable is so nice and I am so thankful for it. It does not go slowly like dial-up and does not have the time-outs that plagued me with Sprint DSL. Actually, Netzero has surpassed AOL in the wrong areas. Just too darn slow. Probably because they're constantly downloading a new video ad for you to watch the next time you're waiting (and waiting) to logon to their "service". Did you ever notice it always takes as long (or longer) to logon to Netzero as the video-ad takes to complete? Probably just a coincidence, huh? MM |
