I updated Windows 98 a few days ago; the Windows Update site still works fine. If you can't connect, it could be either a firewall (ZoneAlarm?) or the Internet Explorer "privacy" settings. In I.E., check Tools (Alt-T) -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Advanced. You can check "Override automatic cookie handling" and select "Accept" 1st party and 3rd part cookies, and "Always allow session cookies." Try that -- and/or go back to the Privacy dialog and click Edit. Type "microsoft.com" and click Allow, then OK. Bill .
