Is there a limit on the number of times I can download the patch? Is there a way round this problem?
many thanks

How did you remove the patch and what makes you think that Windows Update still thinks it's on your pc?
That patch is part of this security bulletin
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS05-002.mspx
but as yet I haven't been able to find the Windows 98 specific download for it on the site
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...DisplayLang=en
So unless you can get Windows 98 to acknowledge that the hotfix isn't installed you may be buggered. Is there not an option on Windows Update to show components/ updates that are already installed? Can't remember back to the 98 version of WU
