... Hi -- I'm new with this "windows update" (win98) issue. Welcome. I need some general inpormation about it : OK. Where should I go ?? http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp Which update should i take ?? All of the Critical Updates, and keep going back until no more are offered. Then, I usually take all the Optional updates, unless space or specs are a concern. For instance, I wouldn't put .Net Framework on a p200 with 4GB HD. How to do that ?? Right there at Windows Updates. Is there a way to know which update are allreday updated on my PC ?? I'm sure there is that someone has a script that looks in all the right places. But in Windows 98 au natural, the list is spread all over the place. Add/Remove Programs, MSINFO32, various places in the Registry. Easier if you have a script that looks where it knows it should find something if present (and maybe even check to see if it's intact.) SOmeone else should be able to answer that. Is this the place ?? http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/d.../corporate.asp That's an older place, and while you're there, I would download all those, JIC. However a more complete list of stand-alone Updates is at Windows Update Catalogue. At the Windows Updates site I linked to above, use Personalize. Enable the Catalogue, then go to the Catalogue. Find the appropriate OS and search for the downloads. Be sure to collect the ReadMes while you're at it! Am I asking all needed question ??? For now, yes. Depends on how deeply you want to get into the subject of updating. You now have the info you need for maintaining your system. THe rest is academic. Thanksssssssss You're Wellllllcommmmmmme! -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User |
