By using another PC and downloading anything you need from the Windows Update Catalogue (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp) and then transferring the files to your Win Me machine and running them there. However if the laptop never goes on line few of the patches will be needed although I would urge you to install the 290700 patch for system restore which is otherwise useless without it. -- Mike Maltby |

You download the patches you need from the Windows Update Catalogue and
then copy them to the machine running Win Me that has no internet connection and install them there. Alternatively you could use the Microsoft Download Centre but I would recommend sticking with the Windows Update Catalogue. My earlier post gave you the link to use to access the catalogue. Note the inclusion of the word CATALOGUE, this is not the same site as the normal Windows Update site. You can download patches for all flavours of systems ranging from Win98 to XP. The patches download as files which you can then copy by whichever means takes your fancy to the PC without an internet connection. Why not visit the Windows Update Catalogue and check for yourself? -- Mike Maltby *ProteanThread* wrote: what i mean is how do you download them without them automatically installing ? |

They do not automatically install from the Catalog. They are executables
that you must double click or run to install. This way one can save them or burn to a CD, and have on hand when needed. Got it now ?
