obviously Microsoft doesn't have them any more and Windows 98 SE isn't even internet compatible anymore... Google only brought up a bunch of fake, broken, or microsoft links that claim they aren't supported... there has GOT to be an unofficial download somewhere where I can get these!!! I just formatted a Windows 98 computer and reinstalled Windows 98 SE and it runs worse than it did when ran with all the junk from the guy who threw the computer out on it!!! usually a clean install of an OS make it run better and it ran decent before and now it barely can do anything!!! it even reports that the ram and video is WAY less!!! I downloaded all the drivers for it but I am missing a 'PCI communication device'... I don'tthink that is causing all the extreme slowness!!! I think these updates may fix my problem...

 

Where can I download the updates and burn to a CD so I can transfer them to Windows 98 computer???

Auto-Patcher includes: Internet Explorer 6 SP1, Direct X 9.0c (October 2006), Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 SP1, and Windows Media Player 9. It also includes every update that has been released by Microsoft and every unofficial update posted on MSFN - It also includes optional components like .NET Framework 2 and the System Policy Editor for Windows 98SE. There are 9 in total. The only things missing are the other unofficial service packs and update packs that are floating around. But there should be nothing critical from those packs missing from Auto-Patcher.

To burn the pack you could use ImgBurn or Deep Burner.

Those are the latest "official" patches. Just uninstall the bloatware when it's done. Also you'll find OldApps.com to be your friend - http://www.oldapps.com/os/Windows_98
