Download "Restore" update?
Hi All...........
I just recently aquired a cheap laptop and am presently putting Me on it. Unfortunately it has no connectivity to the internet. Is is possible for me to download from "wherever" the Restore Update for Me so I might burn it to a CD and put it on the laptop? TIA Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

If you are referring to the 290700 hotfix for Win Me's system restore then
you can download this from the Windows Update Catalogue (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp) using another PC and then transfer it to and install it on your laptop. You can also access the Windows Update Catalogue from the Windows Update site but first you need to click "Personalize Windows Update" in the left hand pane and then in the right hand pane check "Display link to the Windows Update Catalogue" after which you should now see it in the left hand pane as an option. When at the WU Catalogue click Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Select Windows Millennium and then click Search. You will now be offered 148 or so patches. Click Critical Updates and Service Packs (currently 61) and then use the Mark I eyeball to locate the required hotfixes. vbg -- Mike Maltby CLR wrote: Hi All...........

AAH,
If the poster has a copy of the now withdrawn Security Update CD I would recommend they install all of the updates on it with the possible exception of WMP9 and not just install 290700. -- Mike Maltby AAH wrote: Or If you have Security Update Cd, copy it from there to run it on to your pc. |
