Oh it's not set to automatically update. As a matter of fact I knew nothing about even needing to update till I had a problem with my machine and I was in touch with NTL technical support. They asked me whether I updated. On my answer they suggested that I updated it. I've only recently started using 98. This computer came with 95. I'm reluctant to do anything more with this machine, as my goal is to get a new one with better specks and more up-to-date stuff. Can't afford it though. that's the frustration for me, especially as I want to use my pc for making music. But I'll stop now, as i'm going ot. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter Logue Sent: 18 March 2005 05:34 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 98 updates. Jillian, Can you not go into ad/remove programs and uninstall the last update, then tell your computer never to upgrade again? I believe MS has no support for Windows 98, so why you have updates automatically installed onto your system is beyond me. Alternatively, check your specs and see if you can manage Windows 2000 or XP, keeping in mind that your screanreader might need an upgrade to that OS. Window eyes are pretty good that way, so maybe you just need an upgrade to a more updated OS? Peter -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
