seconds to run. The number of missing updates found during this search session: 3 15:50:26 -- Auto-Patcher has finished compiling the report. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - I assume there's nothing to worry about the 3 "missing updates"? - The Win 98SE version now reads 4.90.3000A ??? - The "Win98-to-Me module" didn't do anything??? How can I tell? - WU_fix_v1.21.zip fixed the "Mac" problem. According to Windows update, I'm missing these 3 critical updates: KB916281 KB837009 (installed, according to A-P) and KB891711 (covered by U891711, I assume ???) - There are newer versions of DirectX 9. Are they compatible with 98SE? Overall, Auto-Patcher is an impressive piece of work. Bravo! Any other tweaks, fixes, patches etc. I should check out? :-)
