August 27, 200818 yr Hi guys,I'm astonished of finding out such a big and active community still supporting windows 98!I used it regularly till a few years ago, then I passed to XP... but only because else I was not able to use some programs to connect to my phone! Now I'd like to "recycle" some old 900-1000MHz PC, and I think windows 98 would be the best choice. But I see there are dozens (hundreds?) of hotfixes available, and I can't understand 2 tings:- are they only available in english?- does it exist a single file containing the whole bunch of updates? I can't imagine what downloading&installing 100 files could be!! And finally... does it exist anywhere an hidden, secret, unofficial, abandonware site, where I could download from... ehr... ok, I'll say it, ISO files for English version of Win98 CD? I have a legally purchased CD of Windows 98 Italian version, but if the only chance to update it is downloading ENGLISH updates...
August 28, 200818 yr Author are they only available in english?Have you ever been to eng2ita?yes, but I found lot of broken links to a no more existing italian SP, and once I eventually found a working one, i discovered that I have to install IE6 SP in advance.... but it causes a fatal exception with bluescreen.So I was looking around for other solutions...
October 6, 200817 yr The link in eng2ita.net forum working fine.The 98SE Service Pack 2 italian require I.E.6Sp1 installed before. The link for IE6Sp1 download is present in eng2ita.net forum. The installation (Win98SE + IE6SP1 + 98SESP2) has been widely tried and works. If you have problems post in the forum: many customers will answer to you.
