PCR-- need ref to your update list
Sorry to ask you to trot it out again, but could you give me the ref to the
post with your 98 update list? I thought I'd saved it but can't find it in my computer mare's nest. While we're on the subject, I'd swear I had the box checked on the WUp personal prefs to give me the catalog option, but it won't, doesn't, and I can't make it do it. Any ideas? Not that it's a big problem, since I have that bookmarked. But, I've also noticed that, on that page, searching for updates for W98 doesn't bring up anything any more recent than 856358, 6/13/05 and 'System Admin. Scripting Guide Scripts', 1/4/05. A few (3 or so?) are from 2004, and the rest are all much older. I know that sometime late last year it became necessary to use WUp to get the files, but surely there should be more there than that? If it's of any use to you, I'll post my list of updates. Thanks, Joe

PCR-- need ref to your update list
Below is what I usually post for that. The Corporate site does have less
than the 78 critical updates offered at the Catalog. Some of the 78 are duplicates per IE version, though-- & can it be they haven't removed some that became superceded? Anyhow, that could be a small problem concerning ones already taken. But I'm sure the successor can handle it! (One thing: Don't be tempted to take driver updates from Windows Update!. They are poison! Get them from your manufacturer instead!) There's a mess of regular criticals, both at the Corporate site http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/d.../corporate.asp & at... http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp ...., which also can be got by... (1) "START button, Windows Update". (2) Click "Personalize..." in left pane & then check "Display the link..." in right pane. (3) Click "Windows Update Catalog" in left pane, which is now under "See Also". (Perhaps you need to leave & re-enter the site to see it.) (4) Click "Find Updates..." in right pane. (5) Select OS in window & click "Search". (6) Select "Critical Updates...", & be patient for them to show up in the bottom window. Maybe play with the little SortBy box. You must decide which apply to your computer, when you take them that way. And the literature may not be perfectly clear about it. Perhaps, if you've done it once letting the site decide, you may now... "START, Find, F/F, 'Windows Update.log'". (Use double quotes around that name.) Click it for a possible clue inside.

PCR-- need ref to your update list
Thanks, Rick. I'll check to see what happens if I enable scripts, ActiveX,
etc., rather than just have them ask. I've gotten the impression that there must be a timing factor involved when you have the 'Ask' option involved--some sites work OK, some don't, and I should have thought of that. I like your idea of the reg file, and will give that a try.

PCR-- need ref to your update list
You are welcome. Keep us informed. I should do a definitive
investigation of it, myself, like Terhune did a while ago. Chauvin did one too. Not only do you need to take those criticals, but better take IE6 SP1 separately as well. After a fresh install of Windows, Windows Update won't work on what it gives you of IE. But, if you have that free Security Update CD, it will give you a good IE & many of the critical updates as well.

PCR-- need ref to your update list
I have the SCD. In fact, the first thing I did for a baseline was to use
the ..INFs on the CD to se which of the updates on my machine were due to it and which were due to subsequent updates. The list is not very large, but when I go to the TechNet site, it's clear that the reason I don't have updates for a lot of those MSBs that were issued, saying W98, se were affected must be due to MS reasoning that with a dying W98 installed base, the explicit adaptation of some malware from the XP design was unlikely to be feasible, so not a lot of need to address the issue. And as a practical approach, that may in fact be the case. For some of those, I never heard of much in the way of attacks, anyhow. Mostly, I'm just trying to cover all the bases before support disappears entirely. By the way, there were no abnormal events listed in the log file. And I tried Rick's suggestions, but none of it made any difference--the selection to show the link wouldn't take. Click on the box, 'x' shows up, click on save settings, looks fine, go back to the previous page, then come back and it's not set, once again. Try any combination . . . . do that, look for updates, come back, it's gone. Set it, bomb out, come back, and it's gone. Set it, bomb out, close down the machine, come back on and it's not set. Looks rather to me as if they changed it deliberately. Be interested if you find any difference. You might want to save the old update files first, in case you want to keep it as it has been, if it will allow you. I have the impression that the site handles it as a server, and it might be still willing to accept your settings if already made, but not accept them if you try to change from not having the option set. I don't know this, but it seems like it. I'll post back when I finally get through mashing all this stuff through my sieve-- :-) J "PCR" wrote in message ... You are welcome. Keep us informed. I should do a definitive investigation of it, myself, like Terhune did a while ago. Chauvin did one too. Not only do you need to take those criticals, but better take IE6 SP1 separately as well.

PCR-- need ref to your update list
It never gets from (3) to (4). If I click on 'Display the link...' the box
is checked, I then click 'Save Settings' but the left pane never shows up 'Windows Update Catalog' no matter what I set the security settings in IE to, or whether I close out IE or even reboot. It just acts as if the server has been programmed to ignore any settings changes I make. 'WYSIWYG.' It isn't really a problem--it just is an irritation, and I always worry that maybe something else is haywire, for example, having taken a recent patch, or such. With respect to the updates you listed, you took the Internet Print Services Beta? That's the only reference I could find for that. Additionally, the W98SE Digital Video Update is now known as 'Video Capture Update for DirectX v.8.0' and I had to dig pretty deeply into Google to find that one, since your posts with that particular quote keep coming up as hits on Digital Video Update. I couldn't tell what it was needed for, precisely, unless you have an older Sony Digital Video Camera, which seemed to come up fairly often. The other thing that came up was 243174up.exe, which apparently you can only get by signing over your first-born child, and seems to be necessary if you have a firewire camera. Apparently you took WMP 9x? Is there any synchronism between DX9 and WMP9? The reason I ask is that the SCD has DX8 and 9b, as well as WMP 7.1, 8, and 9. The odd thing is that I seem to have WMP 6.4.7.1121 (probably the W98se release), but I also have evidence of 9.0.0.2980 in the registry, though I'm not sure it's installed anywhere. There isn't any ref in 'Add/Remove' and the version numbers come from the registry, from the file in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\ folder, and 'Help/About'. I don't know how you're supposed to know what you have for sure without an 'add/remove' entry. As I recall, the SCD didn't allow W98 users much choice in installation, but I may have fudged up the inf files to get what I wanted. Trouble is, sometimes I wrote in my notebook, but not always. The other major differences are in that I went through a couple of years back and eliminated all the superceded updates, so I'm missing some you have for IE, OE, and the HTML help patches. I still have some slogging to do, back when done. Joe "PCR" wrote in message ... | but none of it made any difference--the selection | to show the link wouldn't take.

Click that, & in the right pane, you must also check "Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also". That's right.
