can't get windows update
Hi! After I installed net framework version 2.0 redistributive package (x86). I was highly advised to install the latest security package for it, but when I tried to get windows update, it kept giving this message:Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site. This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating systems only. To find updates for Microsoft products that are designed for Macintosh operating systems, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mac/. I use windows 98se and EI6, and was able to get win update immediately prior to this installation. (I got windows discussion from my favourites) Does any one have a clue why this would happen? Thanks Tassie

can't get windows update
It's a known problem, and one that Microsoft will have to fix. Meanwhile,
try deleting Temporary Internet Files in Internet Options, also delete History and Cookies. Might help, according to some reports (but others say not.) Restart your system and try again. Then keep trying every so often. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "Tassie" wrote in message ... Hi! After I installed net framework version 2.0 redistributive package (x86).

can't get windows update
Thanks a lot for your help!
I got the answer from that link you left, from "98 GUY's" advice: (added microsoft.com to trusted sites, then deleted cookies from temporary Internet files and restarted the computer) This is an unrelated comment. I tried to leave a message to "98GUY" to let him know, but got the message: "you have to sign in before you can leave a message" when I clicked sign in link, I was sent to gmail sign in page! That seems a bit weird.

Thanks Les
Yes, I actually got it running again from 98 GUY's post, by putting microsoft.com in trusted sites and deleting temporary Internet files, followed by restarting the computer. Can you tell me what v6 and v4 is please? (I suppose that is some thing most people know) "Les Matthew" wrote: Tassie wrote: Hi!
