I got a similar problem involving windows update on 98se too
When i use IE6 2 go 2 the site, i now get this message
Thank you for your interest in Windows Update
Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.
You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update.
???????????????????????????what the ****???????????????????
Don't know the answer 2 Ur prob fender62, mine has only happened in the last 2 weeks
Are Micros**te now blocking previous users of the update service?

Other things to check:
Firewall
Security settings in IE (Especially if using a later addition)
And, as mentioned b4 - problems with cereal#

in the immortal words of homer simpson .... DOH!
ROFL!
I don't believe I just read this! Woke up about 3am thinking about the abovementioned problem and the only thing that came to mind was the 'ole Homer Simpson phrase........
Not the sort of info you really wanted to know, but I thought it was particularly wierd
Hmmm........Great minds think alike....

Fender U could try this
Goto the windoze update site & click the link on the left hand side that says Personalise Windows Update, then check the box that says Display the link to the Windows Update Catalog under See Also & then click Save settings
This sohuld then allow U 2 click Windows Update Catalogue which will take U 2 a page that allows U 2 search 4 updates 4 Ur system, think it also allows U 2 download the updates 2 HD
Have just tried this myself, so it should work 4 U
Hope it Helps
