when i try to update windows, it will not work. I dug deeper and found that i could type in certain "codes" in the START-RUN-TYPE area. "regsvr32mssip32.dll" is what i typed minus the quote marks, and it said that the library failed to load. other commands i entered loaded fine, just not this one. my guess is that is what is preventing me from updating. any suggestions what to do?

Jesse, I know this seems rather simplistic, but; if I understand your question correctly, Windows 98 is no longer supported with updates. Sheila

jesse.

There are a lot of people who believe that Windows Updates are no longer available 
for Win98/Win98SE but they are wrong. 

The problem I see is you are Using commands for WinXp while trying to update Win98. 
Im basing this on info from the Link below.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798

Copy & past this for Win98 Updates.

There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

Sheila,

Try this link for MS Windows Updates for Win98.

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Yes, they are still available and may help solve some of your other issues,

BW  :)

That is called the Run Box.
Your guess is wrong, Win98 does not have that file so it's no wonder you could not 
register it properly.

Explanation of 
Regsvr32 Usage and Error Messages

A more probable reason the WinUP site is not working for you is because you are probably 
not using IE 5.50 SP2 or IE 6.00 SP1 which are now required in order to access the 
Update site with Win98.  Install either version of IE and use it for access to the 
site and it should start working for you.  IE only at the WinUP site - mozilla or 
any other browser won't work there.

Microsoft IE 6.00 SP1

Download the updates and save them to CD so that you can update your next re-installation 
of Win98 next time by going to the Windows Update Catalog site.
