I'm using Win98se on a 4yo P3 where Windows has not been updated for over 12m. When I ran the MS windows scan facility it flagged-up 9 "critical updates." But on attempting `review & install' for the 9 the m/c froze, such that I had to power-off. With power back on, the updates were indicated to be in a temp file (content.IE5) when I'm using IE6. Is this part of the problem? I'm using IE6 - & there still seems to be IE5 files on the system. Some of these IE5 files relate back to when the m/c was purchased in Sep99. (Can these be safely deleted?) I tried installing the oldest update separately - but got the same result.
What else can I add? B/band user via AOL7. ZoneAlarm. Grisoft AVG.
If it is significant, the updates are: 813951(IE6sp1), 814078(MS Jscript), 816093(MS VM), 819696, 823559, 837009(OE6sp1), 840315, 867801(IE6sp1), 870669(ADODB.stream).
Please explain as if explaining to your Granny!
