How do I get all ME updates ?
hi
I've just installed my old ME on a PC I've built for my son. Windows Update doesn't work anymore (presumably because ME is no longer supported). How do I get all the ME updates ? thanks dave p |

Dave,
What problem do you have with Windows Update? You presume wrong as to it not working, Windows Update is alive and well and still delivering updates to Win Me. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP [2001-2004] dave p wrote: hi I've just installed my old ME on a PC I've built for my son.

thanks
Yes, after reading abit more on the MS site I know that ME is still supported for auto updates. However whenever I tried to use it I got: Windows has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page This is a fresh ME install so there's no Firewall or Antivirus running. -----Original Message----- "dave p" wrote in news:0efb01c49d0a : hi I've just installed my old ME on a PC I've built for my son.

You shouldn't be going online without a firewall running these days. If you were using XP you would be having to get rid of viruses now - because the internet itself is now infected. As for using ME.......? Shane |

Solved it.
This is really embarassing but the mboard clock was set to 1999 ! Set it correctly to 2004 and updates worked fine PS I now have TrendMicro Internet Security installed ;=) -----Original Message----- wrote in message ... thanks Yes, after reading abit more on the MS site I know that ME is still supported for auto updates.
