| 355674 | 2005-05-16 09:40:00 | There was a service pack 1 (SP1) release for Windows 98 a long time ago, but so far as I am aware there was never a SP2 release for Windows 98 . In case you are really meaning Windows 98 Second Edition, there was no service pack releases for Windows 98 SE whatsoever that I am aware of . There were several Critical Updates though and to that end a number of websites ripped off someone elses attempt to provide a service to those using Windows 98 Second Edition . This person created a self extracting file containing all of the security updates released by Microsoft for Win 98 SE, and included a few other tidbits such as driver releases as well . You can find this package online using any search engine and entering the catch phrase of the time "Unofficial Windows 98 SE Serice Pack 2 Final" but personally I'd rather get the free CD Microsoft mail out to those wanting these updates rather than risk getting a corrupted or infected package off of one of many of those sites offering this service . As far as removing Windows XP goes so that you can reinstall Windows 98 I'd recommend you read Microsoft's answer to this question: How to manually remove Windows XP and then restore Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition ( . microsoft . com/default . aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314052" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com) One thing you will need to do before formatting the hard drive is ascertain whether or not your hard drive is formatted with NTFS or FAT32 partition(s) . You can do that by Double clicking your My Computer icon located on your Desktop and then Right clicking on your C drive and selecting Properties . Now Look for the "File system" entry . Ok enough said given the real answer to your question is best given via Microsoft's website link given above . Regards, Timothy |

| 355675 | 2005-05-16 10:56:00 | There is an SP1 for IE6 on my Win98SE. I also have a spare MS update disk, the mail out disk, PM me, lulman if you are in NZ. There are still plenty of updates to do even after you load the disk I think it was valid up until Aug last year but it could be before that. | zqwerty (97) | ||
