the_guy:

VS6SP6.EXE needs to be redone, it displays error messages about most DLL + OCX files [not found on drive A:\ ?], and files do not install into %windir%\system .

Thanks.

Edit:

I have fixed it.

Please download here [2.11 MB]:

MDGx may want to edit the statement on his IE page that says "URLMON.DLL 6.00.2800.1537 (RTM)/6.00.2800.1538 (QFE) installed by MS06-013 MS IE 6.0 SP1 Patch for Windows 98/98 SE/ME corrupts MS Windows Update (WU) and/or MS WU Catalog (WUC) and/or MS Office Update (OU)!" IE 6 SP1 KB912812 patch for Win2000 SP4/XP SP1 may also have the problem because it too has the flawed URLMON.DLL file. Ditto for the KB912812 patch for IE 5.01 SP4/Win2000 SP4. The XP SP2 and W2K3 SP1 versions of KB912812 do not have the problematic URLMON.DLL files as WU [Windows Update] and OU [Office Update] download & install ActiveX controls correctly and does display the Information Bar in IE.

And MS KB article 909889 should also be added onto there (contains registry fix):

you said it, PsycoUnc.

MDGx might want to remove the KB826501 IEDKCS32.DLL 16.00.2800.1245 patch for IE6 SP1. I got the newer IEDKCS32.DLL KB893627 patch from Petr and it's version 16.00.2800.1500.

BTW -- my brother got & paid for the DSL internet connection yesterday. now we got high-speed internet and we can use the net and the phone at the same time.

Gape:

Many thanks [from everybody here] for making this thread a "sticky".

Best wishes.

Congratulations for your new DSL "gate" to the cyber-world. ;)

Edit:

Make sure you place frequency reducers [converters] on all phone lines you use for voice or fax.

Make sure you do NOT place ANY frequency reducers [converters] on ANY phone lines you use for DSL connections.

These devices should be provided by DSL phone line provider for free, or if you need more than they provide, you can find them for cheap at the local RadioShack.

If you plan on using a single DSL modem with more than 1 computer, make sure you hook up the DSL modem through a high-speed 2-4 port [or more depending on how many computers you plan on connecting to DSL] Ethernet DSL/Cable/Broadband router [wired or wireless] which should include a built-in hardware firewall.

Most such routers should be relatively cheaply priced nowadays.

I use a wired Linksys (Cisco) BEFSX41 Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL with 4 Port Switch/VPN Endpoint:

which was ~ $60 bucks at CompUSA when I purchased it ~ 2.5 years ago.

You can search for best deals on Linksys routers @ PriceWatch [example]:

download link from Microsoft.com download center

http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/2...433-x86-ENU.exe

Should work, but no guarantees.

Yes, the file in Microsoft Download Center is identical to file downloaded from Windows Update. Official download page is here:

Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433)

Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT.

Security bulletin: MS06-020

Apparently it installs Flash version 6.0.84.

Yup, the KB913433 update installs Macromedia Flash Player v6.0.84 ONLY if you have a version of Flash Player earlier than that (such has Flash 5 or earlier builds of Flash 6). It will NOT work if you have Flash Player 7 or greater (or no Flash Player installed). those using Flash Player 7 should install Flash Player 7.0.63 to fix the latest security problems. And those using Flash Player 8 should upgrade to Flash Player 8.0.24.

if you have no version of Flash Player installed in the \system\Macromed\ folder or \system32\Macromed\ folder (or if any of those folders do not exist), extract the INSTALL_FP6_WU.EXE file from the KB913433 patch and run the INSTALL_FP6_WU.EXE file to install Flash Player 6.0.84.

thanks. though I can only use the DSL connection on my brother's XP SP2 laptop. he'll have to buy a wireless router so I can also use the DSL connection on my WinME desktop computer in my room which no longer has an internet connection. I wont be able to update my web pages for several days since I store my pages on my desktop PC and the laptop has NO floppy disk drive. guess I'll have to buy an external USB floppy drive and connect it to the USB port on my bro's laptop, then save copies of my pages from the desktop PC to the floppy disk and then put the disk into the usb floppy drive and copy them onto the laptop.

BTW - KB908531 (MS06-015) is still NOT available for Win98/ME as I've checked the Windows Update site today. Looks like we'll have to wait 'til June (or even July 11) for KB908531 patches for Win98 & ME to be ready.

also MDGx, see this page on optimizing DSL/Cable connections:

I think maybe it's too much work for them

and I believe that Microsoft will postpone it so long till it doesn't come out before 11.th July and therefore they won't even have to write it.

i hope the kb908531 patches for w98/me dont turn out to be like the kb891711 patches for w98/me where they used different exe/dll files than updating some of the core system files from win98/me. i just hope MS didnt lose the 9x code completely.

Also note that the Flash Player KB913433 update from Microsoft only updates the Flash Player ActiveX control for IE browsers. If you are using non-IE web browsers like Mozilla/Netscape/Firefox/Opera, dont bother using the KB913433 patch and obtain Flash Player v7.0.63 or v8.0.24 for non-IE browsers instead.
