Hi Folks, I have used this program to unpdate older Win 98 computers and not had any= problems with the results; Unofficial Windows 98 SE Service Pack 1.1 http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/9/13-9-191.shtml Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users. It contains all Windows98= SE updates from WindowsUpdate site and more. It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft's update= files. Thus, you cannot choice files individually. Uninstallation is possible from Add-Remove Programs. IT IS ONLY FOR WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. It contains only= operating system updates. It does not contain DirectX, Media Player or other similar products Features: - 52 hot fixes. (All of them are from Microsoft.) - 256-color tray. (Some icons on the tray like WinAMP's icon will be shown= better.) - Better Defrag and Scandisk. (Faster. They are from Windows ME. However,= they work properly on the Windows98 SE.) - Better Notepad. (Same Notepad with more key bindings.) - Optimized swap file usage. (Windows will not to use the swap file at all= until the entire RAM is used.) - Better WDM and USB support. (Some problems about WDM drivers and USB= devices are solved.) - Windows Scripting Host 5.6. (Latest version of Scripting Host which also= contains VBScript and JScript support.) - Visual Basic 6.0 SP5 runtime library. (To run Visual Basic 6.0 programs.) - Windows 2000 color scheme. (You should select it from Control= Panel-Display-Appearance.) - A few cosmetic and performance tweaks. Mike ~ one of the Moderators It is a good day if I learned something new.

USB 2 devices will work when plugged into USB 1.1 ports - but only at USB 1.1 speeds. The bigger problem will probably be win98's USB support - or lack of it You can upgrade 98 to 98SE, but you will need an 'upgrade 98SE' disc - I have tried before using a 'full version' disc, and it would only allow a clean install - not upgrade Regards Chris chris@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.spotta.com -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Drumwoulf Sent: 23 May 2005 15:11 To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Windows/Hardware requirements? I have an older PC that uses Win98. I seem to remember updating it with a special patch when Win98SE came out, but I don't know if this means I have Win98SE now, or not? Since most of the newer hardware (CD-DVD Rom, Ext hard drives) requires at least Win98SE, I don't know if I can use them or not. Is there anyway I can be sure of the compatability of my software with new hardware? Can I= somehow (re?)update my Win98 to SE? This new stuff I'm interested in also uses USB2.0. I have USB1.1. But I'm fairly certain that's all backwards compatable and still okay, right?
