galahs Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I remember reading its possible to modify Windows 2000 update patches to fix Windows 98 (for some patches).My main thought was we know Microsoft will not release updates for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 98 anymore.But they will release the updates for IE6 SP1 on Windows 2000.And we all know IE is the biggest weakness in Windows 98.So can we make our own patches for IE on Windows 98 using Windows 2000 updates?

Why are you not reading the Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack sub-forum, where this is a routinely solved issue?cjl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 ie6 should remain supported (regardless of os) till ie7 comes out (which will be soon)i would suggest you get familiar with the alternatives anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Sorry my bad!P.S. I use Firefox and Opera but I still have IE6 SP1 loaded and want to ensure its locked down best it can be (without removal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdohnert Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 In a word, No. As Windows 2000 and Windows 9.x have totally different underlying kernel architectures. And its much more difficult than using a hex editor.I remember reading its possible to modify Windows 2000 update patches to fix Windows 98 (for some patches).My main thought was we know Microsoft will not release updates for Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 98 anymore.But they will release the updates for IE6 SP1 on Windows 2000.And we all know IE is the biggest weakness in Windows 98.So can we make our own patches for IE on Windows 98 using Windows 2000 updates?

pcalvert Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 And we all know IE is the biggest weakness in Windows 98.That is why I am strongly leaning toward uninstalling IE completely. No need to worry about security holes in an application that's not installed. Many people have been keeping IE installed because of Windows Update. Well, it won't be much longer until that's no longer a factor.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
