I have used it on several machines with no problems. In fact on one machine, it actually fixed a problem they were having.

I have tried many times to fix it. I decided to add this service pack even though the computer was totally updated from MS and lo and behold, the problem was fixed plus my Win98SE now looks like Win2k. Good one. zqwerty (97)
