Windows Me updates?
Thanks! I'm having a few problems getting access though. I've tried the
link several times and only got the update page once. I was able to get one critical update, but I had to reboot to install it, and when I tried the link again, it wouldnt let me in. It says I have to be using a Windows operating system (which I am) then it gives me a link for Macs?? I'll keep trying.

Best is to keep trying, closing all instances of IE before trying again.

Could have been a site hiccup.
I got the same (re-directed to a Mac site) suggestion twice, but got through OK on the third try. HTH "920jeff" wrote in message ... | Thanks! I'm having a few problems getting access though.

Windows Me updates?
Quote: Wait a few days. Microsoft are at long last aware of this problem which started a couple of weeks ago. The problem is server side so there is nothing you can do other than either keep trying on the chance you get in or alternatively wait a few days. -- Mike Maltby Unquote. That is a known issue that hopefully MS will sort out shortly. Zee "920jeff" wrote in message ... Thanks! I'm having a few problems getting access though.

Can you get to the Windows Update Catalog ?:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp Select Win ME as the OS and all updates should be available from there.

Windows Me updates?
Somewhat on the topic: My Updates CDs are now ready to go. One is a copy of
the Security Updates CD from 02/04, the other contains everything since, with a few minor exceptions. No IE 5 or 5.5, only IE6 SP1. Good for Win98, 98SE and ME. Anyone interested should email -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Hi MowGreen,
The link you provided always redirects to: http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu...&thankspage=2& which says only the following: ------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site. This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems only. To find updates for Microsoft products that are designed for Macintosh operating systems, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mac/. ------------------------------------------------ The Windows update page doesn't seem to be accessible right now. My computer kept freezing up, so I reformatted and reinstalled my Windows Me and now I'm stuck. Will the web page be restored soon?

Not Mow, g but Microsoft are aware of the problem with the update site
so just hang in there and I'm sure someone will be able to help.
