    Security update

    I have a client who is using W98SE and lost all of the drivers. After installing the drivers back and trying to access a web site they use I was not able to do so. After further investigation, I discovered the site uses the HTTPS: instead of the HTTP. I can get them to the site by removing the S(Secure) from the address shortcut, but there are a couple other sites the use with this as well. Since 98SE is no longer supported, I can not find the neccessary update at MS anymore. Does anyone know where I may be able to obtain the updated needed. They have new PC's coming in but won't arrive for 3 weeks or more and need to make sure they can access the medical records for now. Any help appreciated.
    It's not the computers that keep having problems, it's the users!!

    Update Internet Explorer to Version 6

    And go to windows updates from the menu... you will find that windows updates still works even for 98.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    If the PC is on dial up you can download the unnoficial 98 service pack and burn it to CD for installation later.
