Holly, have you used the update feature on Win 98 to "repair" some of
the problems that Win98 was released with?

I recently purchased a new computer with Win98 and was glad to see the
update feature, which takes you to the Microsoft update site and
displays a list of various types of updates.  Most important are the
critical updates.  It checks your system to see which you have not
installed, then displays a list for you to choose from.  Then you
download them and it does the install process for you.  It's pretty
convenient, actually.  Now if only I could get the task scheduler to
shut off like it's supposed to...

P.S.: Harald, I hope you don't mind but I adopted your sig line some
time ago.  It's too true....
