Keeping Windows 98 SE updated (up to a point)
The latest Bleeding Edge column email (which gives subscribers some additional support options for Nero) also includes a lead on a useful resource for readers who want to keep Windows 98 SE as up to date as possible. We thought it might be a useful follow-up to Anandasim's post on Windows 98, and an indication of why subscribing might be a good investment.
That clever Nero Lite installer we wrote about in the column was written by a Dutch programmer, MDGx. If you take a look at his site, using the link we included, you'll see that his other project is an ongoing effort in the service of the Windows 98 community. Microsoft has never released a service patch for Windows 98 SE, but MDGx has given users that, and more.
His Unofficial Windows 98 Second Edition Service Pack 2.1a is freeware (only for Windows 98 SE English) and it's supported by an active forum. Have a good look around, and you'll find some great resources for the Windows 98 SE die-hard. And some drivers for USB storage devices.
Definitely worth looking at, if you - or that old PC - are hooked on Windows 98 SE.
