Thank you professor,
This is the site i use:
**broken link removed**
It is a Microsoft site.
There may well be others.
I started keeping the patches and updates on CD
when it became apparent that Microsoft were going to withdraw
support for Win98se, even though it has been very successful,
and is still in very widespread use.
It may even be in wider use than XP, although it is difficult to
tell as duplications do not have the problems that they do with XP.
So for every legit 98se, there may be dozens of clones.
If i have to re-install from scratch, i can run in the necessary
updates or patches from CD, without needing to use the internet.
I would be interested to read the opinions of others on this.
Regards, John
