Hi there I have just re-installed Win98 se on my old Dell Dimension XPS D300, from scratch, so it is just the bog-standard Win98 SE. installation. I d/led your Auto-patcher (Full version) from Softpedia , over-night, as I have just got dial-up!! I installed program OK, no problem, but when I attempt to run the Auto-patcher, from the desk-top icon, or directly by running the batch file START_ME.bat, I get the initial list of options in a dos-box, with options A-W. If I choose any option, I get a Box, labelled START_ME, with the following message: "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated." When I click on details, I get the following: Fault Location 00C9: 0E57 Interrupts in service: None Also, the PC hangs after this, and has to be powered off. I am just an ordinary guy, so I have no special knowledge beyond the routine installation procedures, etc I thought the patcher would save me a lot of windows updating, etc. Perhaps it still can, but I can't get beyond the 1st step. Can anyone help me please??
