Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows 98 SE. This contains all updates from Windows Update site and more. It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack. It contains only operating system updates not Internet Explorer, DirectX, Media Player or their updates.
- Corrected timestamps of some files
- Corrected SCR56.INF version information
- Added COMPOBJ.DLL from DCOM98

"Good that this was made though , why dont you guys just use win 2000 ? it handles great with old computers."
Perhaps because they haven't got the spare cash to lay out for a Win2K licence for what's probably a spare second or even third PC. Plus it'll probably be an older machine that's only being used till something major fails and then it's getting dumped.
I hope you weren't suggesting they just download 2000 off the net or something naughty like that? ;-)
I used this for ages on my Win98SE machine till I upgraded to Ubuntu. If I need XP, I run it in a virtual machine.
The guy who made this pack certainly seems to have put a lot of work into it, enough that I used 98SE for about 7 years without needing to upgrade. Well done, dude! :-)

Very good! I resurected an old pc the other day and did a fresh install of 98se. Glad I came across this pack. :)
