Guest georget@unlisted.com Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I just downloaded the Win98 Service pack (complete) that someone put together from all the MS Upgrades. When MS still had these upgrades on their website I got most of them. Maybe all of them, but I really dont know if I got all of them or not, since they used to come a little here and a little there. Is it safe to just run the whole thing now? Also, I got the complete installer for IE6. I never upgraded to IE6 and have always run 5.5. I have always been afraid of IE6 because of the problems it had, but I heard the earlier problems were solved, so I guess I'll give it a try. I was wondering if it has the "go back" option, if it fails (go back to the previous version). I got this directly from MS, and had to use one of the tricks I found on a website to download the file, NOT install it from the internet. (Being on dialup, I hate large programs that install online). Of course I got the Win98 ver. Lastly, I got IE6 (Sp1). Does anyone know if there were upgrades for IE6, and should I install IE6 before I run the Win98 Upgrades, or after? I usually use Firefox anyhow, but I may as well upgrade IE. ---- By the way, the problem I had with my F: partition losing the FAT tables has not re-occurred. I got everything backed up just in case. I replaced the HD cable, and it's been running 24/7 since. George T.
