Otherwise I don't get the point. Shane The word "tend" ? Indeed. As in 'more often than not'. The point is for possibly the majority of patches specific to Win ME or 98/98SE, if you get to the Bulletin or KB article and look for the download link you'll see that while for the various NT systems there is a link to an executable, for 9x systems - and especially for ME - it'll say 'only available from Windows Update'. or 12/03 ? That patch was released 7/2/2004 http://website.lineone.net/~shanebeatson/fixlistme.htm along with the two pages it links to, was done to provide links to the direct (in most cases) download for the patches contained on the Windows Security Update cd (and in the order MS saw fit to install them). Which was, of course, released Nov '03. Using the above links the files can be downloaded using eg, Firefox or a download manager. They'll get a machine patched to Nov '03 levels (as of course would a copy of the cd!) though I didn't see any point providing direct links to full IE or WMP downloads. Best to get a full IE 6.0 SP1 off an ISP or other software cd, I reckon, for IE. I have gotten a list of post Oct '03 updates - there are more than I was thinking! As soon as I've got the urls I'll put up a new page and lose the emphasis on the cd. Shane |

Cheers Mike! I had a nagging feeling that wasn't quite right but couldn't
