Bye, bye V4 WinUP site?
It seems while our backs were turned, the famous WinUP site for 98
displays problems such that it no longer works right. It's quickly trying to load from two sites but does neither finally. Nor does it do anything else and so this is how it really ends? Catalog site too. Both gone. Same problem. http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp |

Nor does it do anything else and so this is how it really ends? I thought that the v4 site directed you to the v6 site for the past few years (didn't it?). This non-functionality seemed to have started no later than late August and possibly the beginning of August. You can tidy things up by setting the "NoWindowsUpdate" registry setting to "0": HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer This will remove the Windows Update entry from Start Menu - Settings and from the IE Tools menu. Catalog site too. Both gone. Same problem. Software updates can be downloaded from he http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...q=Windows%2098 Hot-fool wrote: is now v6 http://www.update.microsoft.com/micr....aspx?ln=en-us If you tried that you fool, you'd see that it loops between 2 URL's. Plenty of sources available on the net to download all win-98 updates for a fresh install. If you have a working machine that has already been to the windowsupdate site in the past, then you're not going to be affected by this. |
