Hello Again listers,


I have a Dell Dimension xps T450 running windows 98se with KernelEX on my C:.  On a second hard drive, I had installed successfully windows 2000 sp4 on a D: while 98 was still plugged in.

1.My question is that, when I installed some of the KB windows updates, I noticed that since you can not designate a drive, it goes to the C:drive.  Then when I looked for those folders that are created with gobbly  gook names, they are not there.  Most software programs allow me to select D:  to install them, and a few things still went to c: that I was able to copy over completely to D:  What can I do about the updates that still look at C: and do not give you the opportunity to change destinations?

2. Also , I seem unable to get windows updates, saying  it can't find activeX.  I know it is there as it was installed through Flash for both ie and opera, as well as seeing it in the registry, and running a activeX test tool that detected it correctly.  One forum  had mentioned one of the updates can cause a problem, I even uninstalled all IE6sp1 and the updates and reinstalled to no avail, then another suggested rolling back one of the DLL to a previous one and that did not help.  Any thought?  All activeX settings are enabled.


Thanks for your thoughts
Sue
