Just in case there is any other poor soul on this board that is still running Win98 like me, read this short article.

:sad: I wonder if I'll be able to get those handy patches any more?

"Patches?? We don't need no stinking patches!!" :rolleyes:

Note that it saysWindows 98 and not Windows 98 SE. Anyone who hasn't updated to SE already should do an in-place upgrade now, even if from a borrowed disc.

For a long time, I have been telling folks to go to the Corporate Download Center and download everything they find for 98 and SE and burn it to a CD. Those patches, though, should still be available -- just none new after end-of-life.
