It seems there are a few update packs doing the rounds that provide some useful updates for older systems.

For ME users.

Thanks for posting the Unoffical 98/ME SP. :)
That's a cool site I was looking for a unoffical ME SP & I found that site a couple of months ago ,  the ME SP was still a beta version back then.
I download the ME SP link you posted & installed it , now I got to reboot my PC.
Later :)

It's still a beta version.
It messed up my ME OS. :shock: :x
When I was installing the ME SP  I got this error:Error registering the OCX C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vbscript.dll.
When my PC was booting on the boot screen I got another error saying something like 1% 2% something  ect.. to 1% 2%.I didn't have enough time to write what it said.
After that  when my PC started loading my start programs FW ect..I got another error.
The MFC42.dll file is linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:DelayLoadFailureHook.
Afterr I got the above error AVG 7.1 didn't load.Whenever I tried to start AVG I would get the above error popup message.I uninstalled AVG 7.1 Pro.Tried restarting my PC and got the same error.
Also my access manager for my ISP is asking me for the password all the time it doesn't want to save my password.
I tried uninstalling the ME SP, but it f*cked up my PC even more.I had to reinstall the ME SP to get my PC to work again in safe mode.
In normal mode it would keep restarting over & over in normal mode.
I should've created a restore point before I installed the ME SP d'uh. :(

YAY :D :D I fixed the MFC42.DLL error I download the mfc42.dll zipped archive that I attached to my post.
I had System restore , hide protected operating systems files  & show hidden files and folders off (not sure if it mades a difference if those options are on or off ) when I replaced the MFC42.DLLwith the one I downloaded online.

I followed these instructions to Register the VBscript OCX error I was getting.
On M$ ME  the vbscript.dll is in c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder  instead of it being in the  c:\WINNT\System32 folder  like it is M$ 2000.

How to Register an OCX File
If you are receiving errors about an ocx file, registering the file may solve the problem. To register an ocx file simply follow the simple steps below.


1.Locate the file using windows explorer or My Computer. Alternatively search for the filename.

2.Hold down the shift key and right click on the file. Then click 'Open With...' from the menu.

3.An 'Open With' dialog box should appear. Click the button 'Other...'.

4.Navigate to your windows\system32 directory(on M$ ME it's in the windows\system folder) and select the file 'RegSvr32.exe'. Do a file search for it if you have trouble locating the exact folder. On Windows 2000 it is typically located in c:\WINNT\System32 . Click Open to select the file. Then click OK on the 'Open With' dialog.

5.You should see a message indicating the file was successfully registered. If you see an error message, try restarting your computer and going through the above process again.

My Access Manager that connects me to my ISP does remember my password again , too. :)

Hope this info helps anyone who has the same problem.

I got to reinstall my AV again now.

Later. :)

It is very nice to hear and see Unofficial Microsoft updates for Windows 98SE and Windows ME, however having said that i have tried Microsoft Windows 98SE and Microsoft Windows ME and they are just to unstable. One thing i like to remember is back in the day when Microsoft Windows 98SE was all you had it was brilliant no one minded crashes and unexpected errors that much, then came along Microsoft Windows ME and people where amazed at the fact it did not throw up as many erros messages and it did not crash as much as 98SE did. Now we have Microsoft Windows XP and some people are still using Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro this is soley because they are more stable than earlier releases.

That is my views on the subject i hope no one as been offended reading any of this.
