Windows 98


There are two versions of Windows 98.

Original Windows 98 Release

Microsoft has released two updates related to Year 2000 fixes (as of August 30th) for the originally released version of Windows 98. To get these, select the "Windows Update" icon in your Start menu or go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/.


Windows 98 Second Edition

If you have Windows 98 Second Edition (released June 10th, 1999), then you already have the currently available Year 2000 fixes (as of August 30th).


Recommendation

In both cases, you may want to run the Windows Update feature (from the Start menu or at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) as the new year approaches. This will make sure you have the latest Year 2000 fixes (if any are released in the future).
