I think I got it...

OK, my MW2 update for today.

The 6 GB disk I was trying to work on Saturday I took back to work this morning. I took the Win98 CD I got from a friend in California and formatted the hard-drive, since the CD will only work on a Dell machine. So, Win98 is now on the drive, but without any sort of updates. WindowsUpdate wouldn't update the OS, so I gave up. I'll see if MW2 will work on it now.

We'll see.

Cross your fingers...

Microsoft dropped all support of Windows 98 and ME back in January (hence the reason you're having troubles updating it). You can read the details here. Windows 95 had already been orphaned before then.

The site said that they wouldn't be creating updates anymore, but that the site would provide the updates that existed up until the time they discontinued support.

No matter. I'm gonna take it home and see if it works. I don't need security updates, since I won't be connceting to the internet with it anyway.

Sorry, I guess I gave you the wrong link, then. Support was also discontinued in January.
