Hi all, first post here!
I'm trying to get a housemates 1999 HP Win98 machine to work with broadband, and in the process to speed up his computer used his restore disk to refresh his OS. I did NOT do a clean install, just used the 'replace current files' option leaving his data intact.

Problem is, over the many, many years, his system had updated automatically through SP1, SP2, SE, and all the other nonsense that MS has been fiddling with. I replaced his system with the original 1999 virgin version of Win98 and any upgrades are no longer supported by Windows Update.... just trying results in an error message.

Is there a downloadable source for the upgrade that goes that far back? I have found "Unofficial Windows 98 SE Service Pack 2.1a" on very reputable sites, but the install won't even recognize this early version of Win98!

I'm looking for downloads of the progressive Win98 update files that MS used to have available. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks! Sam
