Get the message about a problem with a web page on Windows Update and gives me a Windows Update error code right when I tell it to scan for updates!

This is with a fresh Windows 98 SE installation on a Gateway Solo 2150 laptop PC.

I FDISKed and reformatted the HDD, because the previous Windows installation, which I believe was Windows 98 SE, had malware.

I can't recall having this problem after installing Windows 98 SE from scratch on a custom-built PC.

Is this because Microsoft changed Windows Update? That was when running Windows Update with Internet Explorer 5.0. Does Windows Update suddenly require Internet Explorer 6?

This is well known problem with expired certificates in original IE5.0, if you intstall http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownlo...en/rootsupd.exe or IE6, everything should be OK.

What the bleep?! The version it gives me now is the wrong version! It's for Vista!
