Win98 updates on CD?
Since I live in the country and have a very slow dial-up connection, I can't download Windows updates. I found all the WinXP updates on a CD at the Windows Update website but I can't find the Win98 updates on CD. Does anyone know if Microsoft put the Win98 updates on a CD and where I might find a link to the information? I would like to replace WinXP on my computers with Win 98SE but I don't want to do it if I can't find the updates on a CD. I do a lot of graphics work and I do not like the way XP handles graphic files. Thank you, Crank

I think MS has pretty much archived 98. All I saw were downloadablel updates, sorry.

ditto here
I scoured their site and found no cd updates available. I also deal with a lot of graphics files daily and have found the way XP handles them awkward. As antiquated as 98se is becoming, I'll probably always use it...at least I can find good support for it here... I would recommend just downloading a few updates at a time...at night when you're sleeeping. I live in a rural area as well and just have to put up with the slow rates....maybe tweaking your internet settings will help speed things up. |

Thanks f-f2002 and Dan. My nephew in a town near here has cable so if the Win89 updates can be saved to HD (rather than installing as they download), I can use his machine to download them, then burn them to a CD. I just gotta get rid of XP:-) Thanks again, Crank
