Updates for Windows 98 - where?
Does anyone have the URL for Windows 98 updates on the Microsoft website, or
any other website. I installed Windows 98 from CD on an older laptop that I still use, and want to add Windows98 updates. This used to be on the Microsoft website. I can no longer find it. I had the Windows 98 updates in a separate file on my new computer -- for burning to CD -- but I must have accidently deleted them. I went back to the Microsoft website to download the updates once more, but could not find them using the links that Microsoft provides. |

1. Download/Install IE6 SP1:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...b-20b602228de6 NB: Close all open applications (anything with a taskbar icon) and disable anti-virus application prior to installing IE6 SP1...and make sure you reboot twice afterwards! 2. Now go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and update away. NB: Support for Win98 ended on 11 Jul-06. No updates for Win98 have been released since then. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ buffalo rider wrote: Does anyone have the URL for Windows 98 updates on the Microsoft website, or any other website.

Not enough detail here, philo, to tell what you mean. Therefore, not helpful.

That was a good idea Brian. Unfortunately, it appears that the web page you
refer to has gone away ... at least I could not find it. I am trying to find the Windows 98 updates using a computer running Windows XP and in its wisdom, Microsoft has automated updating so that I only get the Windows XP update page now. The Copyright 2004 web page shown in the site you refer to seems to be no more. If you know otherwise, let me know ... I will need a URL. Thanks.

Thanks John, but the site you mention is for 98SE. I need updates for 98.

Updates for Windows 98 - where?
Thanks PA Bear, I will try that. Maybe it will work. I tried going to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and Microsoft reroutes me to a v6 update page (v6 is Windows XP) because the computer I am using to access the MS website is running Windows XP. What I want to do is download the updates and put them in a folder. Then I can write them to a CD and archive the CD with the updates. When the website downloads and installs everything for us, we are at the mercy of the website deciding to obsolete everything, then when it does we can't access updates any more. So I will try what you suggest ... and hope for the best ... the best being that the process is not completely automated like it is with Windows XP. "PA Bear" wrote: 1.

Updates for Windows 98 - where?
First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
You want a URL, you've got a URL: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp It won't work on an XP machine, it switches to v6. You'll need a 98/SE machine and a thumb drive or other storage device to transport and transfer them to where ever your going to place them. Another thought would be to install VPC 2007 on XP and then install 98 on VPC. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...c/default.mspx -- Brian A.
