no, PROBLEMCHYLD. Automatic Updates NEVER works under Win98. The ACTUAL Windows Update site does NOT allow automatic updating under ALL 98 systems. Automatic Updates only work under Win2000 SP3/SP4, WinME, XP & 2003. It's up to microsoft to redo their windows update site to make automatic updates work for other versions of windows. about UPNP under Win98. copy the netsetup.exe file from the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ folder onto a floppy disk. Put the FD into a Win98 machine and run the netsetup.exe file, which will install some UPNP files onto Win98. But maybe its good it doesn't work,cause the Windows Automatic Updating could also make problems on installing updates automatically. Like with Windows XP and the update from ms06-015 when you remember what happened at many users systems afterward.
