Windows Updates after a clean reinstall

I downloaded IE6 SP1 (over my dial-up connection - it was 13 MB). I then ran Windows Update just to get a list of the critical updates. Twenty-two updates were listed. Two of those are not on the list of updates produced when Windows Update Catalog is searched for Windows ME critical updates: 1: 873374 and 2: security update Nov. 20 2001 MS01-56 308567. I haven't researched this yet. Hopefully, Windows Update Catalog , in its advanced options, will let me request these two specific updates. |

Win9x RIP, I guess. (unless there's a sudden last fling next week on
WIndows Updates) No way José as that would mean extending extended support for another month g which could then mean it would be extended to the next quarter (second Tuesday in October). -- Mike Noel Paton wrote: Oh bugger!
