Win9x (and most of NT4) has been
pretty dead over here for the last six to seven ;years. The cost to fix
the problems on win9x greatly exceeds the cost to just reformat and install a
newer OS (if hardware supports it).
I'd ignore win9x altogether, unless is
mission critical in some way.
I've just pointed a 98 machine at windows update
and it seems that MS06-013 breaks activeX downloads completely on this
box.
Do a clean install apply IE 6 SP1 and patch then
point it at a website that uses macromedia flash. It'll ask to install but never
completes.
Only solution I've come across that I know works is
to remove MS06-013, reboot, run a repair on the browser, reboot and then you can
get activex downloads to work.
I know that this is really low priority as support
for 98 stops in a few weeks but has anyone got to the bottom of this
issue ?
Thanks
