Window updates after reinstalling Windows 98SE

Hi,
I need to know how I can reinstall the Windows Updates after I do a Factory
Backup reinstall. I have been thinking of redoing my computer to get rid of
a lot of junk. I need to know how before I do it.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Angel

If you are fortunate enough to have the updates CD that Microsoft gave
away for free early in the year, then most of them are on that. Otherwise
you're just going to have to pick "Windows Update" from the Start Menu and
do it that way. If you have cable or DSL it doesn't take that long.
However if you are on dialup, then be prepared to spend a loooooong time.

Hi,
I have dialup. No, I do not have the update CD that Microsoft was giving
away. I did not know that they were. I did not know that there was such a
thing. I sure wish I knew about the Update CD. It looks like I will have to
set aside a day or two to do the job. Will I be able to get all the updates
when I click on the Window Updates? Or will I have to go to another website
to get them?
Thanks,
Angel

Hi,
How do I download to a CD? I do have a RW-CD. I have not used it to save
from the web as yet. Do I download it to my
desk top first or do I do it directly. Please explain.
Thanks,
Angel

Save your d/l to a new folder or wherever you save d/l's
Drag/drop to disk
or
Run your burning software and burn to disk

If it's a compressed .zip or .exe you will need to extract it first =
before burning to disk.

Hi Brian,
You said that I may need to extract it if it is a compressed .zip or
..exe. Where do I extract it to? Do I extract it to another file or in the
same file?
Please explain
Thanks,
Angel

Please ignore Brian's advice as 99% of the updates at WinUP site
will be self extracting/installing executables which should NOT
be extracted by the typical user at all. You download the files
to a local folder of your choice, save the entire folder of
updates to CD by what ever method your CD software allows.

My advice had nothing to do with MS Updates, only downloaded files that =
are compressed in general. I wasn't even thinking of the updates being =
dl'd from there. True the files that can be downloaded from the MS =
Update site are self extracting/installing. The files that she wants to =
download from the site and burn to disk can be saved to the HD and then =
burned to disk. If that is what she wanted, then by all means ignore my =
earlier advice.
