Updating fresh install of WinME
I am thinking of doing a fresh install of WinME on an older PC that I
have just picked up for my daughter. It came with a WinME upgrade CD and Win98FE OEM install CD. Unfortunately the previous owner did not practice safe hex and the OS is in a poor way. I think I have copies of all upgrades and patches (except IE6SP1) stored locally on my own PC, and/or on CD. However, not all my copies have the original date/time stamp and I am unsure of the order that I should apply these upgrades and patches. I also realise that some upgrades or patches are not necessary to install as they have been superceded by cumulative upgrades and patches. Does anyone have a listing of all the patches and upgrades that I should apply, and in which order ? Also, is there a download source for a full IE6SP1 upgrade, rather than the online version (so I can store locally, thinking of the impending demise on official WinME support). Thanks for any help you can provide. Doc. -- Adam and Eve - the worlds happiest couple ever. Neither had a mother-in-law. |
