Noel: My Windows Update page did Not have the Catalog on the left ( Only
"About Win Update") and when using your "See Below Link", it never occurred to me to look at What's Next-Still Problems or How to Check it Out and know that the path to take is under If Help & Support is Not Working, and that at the bottom of the link page is a Link to the Catalog to Search for 329115. You ought to expand your copy-righted instructions to cover all that as it's not intuitive at all. I found / Installed the WU patch. Office Update still Freezes at 51%. Is Windows Me Re-Install Next? I won't ask you two to help but I suspect that's all that's left. Many Thanks again to you & Mike!

Not at all!!
Have you run Belarc to check on your patch status?? I still have problems seeing how you missed the clear instruction "In the left pane, look under the 'See Also header - is 'Windows Update Catalog' listed? If not, see below.

You really *must* begin to answer questions as presented, rather than go off on tangents..... FWIW - when you clicked on the 'below' link, it moved the focus of the screen so that the relevant informational @Note@ was at the top of the screen.... to quote "Note - to enable the Windows Update Catalog , you need to go to Windows Update, and scan for updates - when the scan is complete, in the left pane, you'll see a link to 'Personalize Windows Update' - click on that, and then put a checkmark in the 'Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also' box - save the settings, and the link should appear on the left." -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Craig S" wrote in message ...

Can Windows Me Lock-up Office XP Updates?
I use Windows 98SE, but I have been repeatedly prompted to download the
Outlook update kb837009. The update program does not allow for any other updates. How can I get around this? I looked in add/remove programs, and the file is not listed. I downloaded it, but it is for Windows XP only. Any help? Thanks. "Noel Paton" wrote: Not at all!! Have you run Belarc to check on your patch status??

Mike / Noel: IE6 Re-Installed & working but Office Updates still Freezes at 51%; The following has occurred: The 329115 Patch in Noel's copy-righted Instructions would always Default to Windows Update when the 329115 DnLoad link was clk'd, so I updated what it gave; Windows KEEPS saying KB837009 (OE SP1) is a Critical Update Required even after I installed it 3 times ( showed Successful & is in History 3 times). Only once did Win Update let me go to 329115 page and it finally DnLoaded; Error Msg when 329115.EXE Clk'd on Desktop: "Q329115.EXE File is Linked to Missing export NTDLL.DLL:strstr" ; (I see NTDLL.DLL in Windows\System) Behind that Error Block is: "A Device attached to the System is not functioning" (and the C:\Windows\Desktop Path for 329115.EXE is the header on that block). Maybe I can just look at Office Downloads & go by dates to manually Update; Any idea How to Tell Win Updates that KB837009 OESP1 is Loaded? Thanks for all that you did!! "Craig S" wrote: Well, your mention to Download to where ie6setup is, since I had mentioned 2 places I wasn't sure if you meant to Download to the Special Folder I created but I moved the Windows Update Setup File back over to My Documents\IE6SP1 I created and the Download Did Not Like it. Moved all back to Windows and it completed. I Clk the ie6setup.exe to Finish. The fact that Install & Run is part of Download and Install later "logic" proves that software engineers clearly hate people of low to average expertise. Will advise when I get the nerve to start the Delete/Re-Install. Many Thanks for your patience.

Rather than clicking No click Yes. The download continues and when finished presents you with the following: "Setup has finished downloading from the Windows Update. Run "ie6setup.exe from the "folder you downloaded the files to" folder when ready to complete Setup". and an OK button. BTW in "f" in my previous post I forgot to mention that you have the ability to choose the folder to which the files are downloaded. It is best to make this the folder containing ie6setup.exe. -- Mike Maltby Craig S wrote: Mike, things were Downloading fine (12.7 MB displayed / then 13011 KB) but then it asked "Do you want to Install & Run Internet Explorer Service Pack 1?" I said No, and then it falls apart. Error msg: "Unable to Download Components; make sure Internet Connection OK, etc." Surely Install & Run if Chosen is not related to Download - Install Later. When I tried ie6setup.exe again it gives a choice to Resume or Start Over; I Started Over & reached same Dead-end over it wanting to Install & Run. After the Advanced tab was clk'd and I chose Download Only, it created a Windows\Windows Update Setup Files Folder where it said to Clk ie6setup.exe when ready. That's where I've been operating from - Any other ideas? |

Can Windows Me Lock-up Office XP Updates?

I use Windows 98SE, but I have been repeatedly prompted to download the Outlook update kb837009. The update program does not allow for any other updates. How can I get around this? I looked in add/remove programs, and the file is not listed. I downloaded it, but it is for Windows XP only. Any help? Thanks. |
