| 587012 | 2007-09-02 00:26:00 | Have just reinstalled Windows 98SE on an older machine. Windows Updates now shows no recommended updates. (I know they ceased updating it last year but want the updates to that point). Rather than pick the updates I need one at a time out of their 60 files - is there anywhere that they can be downloaded in bulk? |

| 587016 | 2007-09-02 02:03:00 | Have downloaded and installed it and now Windows Updates works. There are a few extra updates on it. Many thanks, it seems to have solved my problem. |

| 587017 | 2007-09-02 07:03:00 | Its been a while since I last reformatted anything - and this time anything that could go wrong did! From updates to the network card... I've given up on a fix for the old monitor. Windows smugly told me that its default drivers were best - no matter what I tried. The link provided the updates for Windows - and was much faster than the old days of downloading them piecemeal. Once that was done the update site worked to upgrade IE 5 to 6 - with all patches. Many thanks for the help - it is now working well. |
