This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems only.
I have an old box that I run Win98 on. I had to reload the OS (a regular
task with Windows98 lol), and when I went to the windows update site, I got "This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems only.:". Is MS no longer allowing win98 to be updated via windows update? |

Thanks for the info. I did keep trying and eventually it went through. Is
this something intentional MS is doing to help wean people off of Win98? My Win2000/XP/2003 boxes get through on the first attempt, but my Win98 boxes fail on most attempts. Simply refreshing the browser eventually lets it through. "Ron Badour" wrote in message ...

I doubt it--I think something just got screwed up on their server. MS is
aware of the problem but whether or not it will be fixed (considering no W98 support) is not known. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Zootal" Don't send me any freaking spam at zootal dot com remove the don't send me any freaking spam wrote in message ...
