mikex Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I have a Win 98 machine and it has a fresh install on it. I try to get some updates from M$ but I get a page saying sorry...then links me to M$ for Macs page. I did not do the install so I can't say all is good 100%. I got updates for a 98 machine just about a week ago so I am thinking this problem is on this machine. Has anyone else run across this?M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikex Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Ok but why redirect me to a Microsoft for Mac. I will get the URL toniight if I get the time to work on this machine. Damn people want to fix a machine that is 10 years old. How can I sleep at night if I charge hourly, knowing they can get a new machine for around $400?GGGRRRRRR!!!I guess I will put this job in the favor bank. Always need to keep it full.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
