Microsoft is stealing from us again. Or still. Probably still is more correct.

Microsoft has a patch for Windows 98 which allows it to run on a PC faster than 2.0 GHZ. It used to be in their knowledge base.

Microsoft has taken it off their web site.

Since this violates merchantability, etc., is it possible for OldVersion.com to get it and put iit on this web site, especially without legal entanglements? As an added argument, their "WindowsUpdate" web site, while they claim they support Windows 98, will NOT scan that operating system for needed security patches.

Having problems or something with your 2.0+Ghz machine. This program you mention is not necessary. I have a few machines over 2.0Ghz, that run Windows98se just fine. No such patch applied.

As for it being included on the website, someone may post a link if they know what the filename is.

Also. do not post duplicate threads, they will be deleted, one thread is gong to be seen.

Unless that patch is for MS to try and keep tabs on some1 (Hehehe,you can tell how much i HATE MICROSOFT!!!!!)
