Apparently Microsoft has terminated that deal, Carey. I'm in the same fix as
Tinkerbell; in order to network and get back to the web, my Win98 computer
needs Service Pack 2; I found KB article #239937 and called the phone number
listed there to request a CD of the Win98 Customer Service Pack [(800)
360-7561] and was told they are not sending them out any longer.

I stirred around in Update and discussion groups, etc. but I can't find a
way to download the Win98 updates to my WinXP machine; does anyone know of a
way?

Good suggestion, but, unfortunately, the Windows Security Update CD is
no longer available. That web page doesn't say why.

instead of the update page ...go to the "windows catalog" (linked on the
update page ...you can download all updates manually

....geez... maybe i should start making copies of my upgrade disk :

If you'd like to get a copy of mine, (as I recall in the EULA, this is not
illegal), contact me via email at and we'll figure
out a way to get it to ya.
