I recently had some sort of corruption (or so I thought) on my windows package, so re-installed it. However, I found out that Microsoft is no longer supporting 98SE, so when I installed my version from disc, I of course did not install all the updates that I have downloaded over the years; these appear to be no longer available on the Windows Update page. Are they available elsewhere ?

Go to the Microsoft Download Center advanced search page

Select Windows 98 and results sorted by date.

The only issue here is that you will need to manually select which updates you install.

You will need to manually check for updates to other Microsoft items such as DirectX and Internet Explorer too.

I hope you do not plan to take this computer on-line unless you are behind a strong hardware firewall.

There is little support for Windows 98 for either software firewalls or anti-virus.
