Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME Support ended on July 11, 2006.

No additional support will be available from Microsoft after this date.  Therefore, I have decided to document what programs, patches or updates have been officially released by Microsoft for the Windows 98 Second Edition Operating System.  I have eliminated data that has been superseded and or included with newer releases, and am concentrating only on the OS.  Some other data for related Microsoft programs may be included (IE6 for example) as it may also affect the OS, and others required by Windows Update.

 This information is correct only as to the best of my knowledge, and HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED.

NOTES:

See MS06-015 at: www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-015.mspx for June 8, 2006 update

"***" = .exe files 

Column "Info." indicates original source:
        "WU" indicates found with existing Microsoft Windows Update.
        "SD" indicates included on the Microsoft Windows Security Update CD-ROM*
        "C" are deemed critical by review of information available.

         * Internet Explorer 6 SP1, and Windows Media Player 9 are included in this February 2004, CD (Microsoft part No. X10-29587).

In column "Need", a "Y" indicates that this file should be applied to a typical new Win98SE install, in my experience.
An "R" indicates a reboot will be required upon install of this update.

Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package - (Posted Date: November 22, 2002)
Download size: 224 KB, < 1 minute
The Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package provides a workaround for computers running Windows 98 Second Edition with Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard drives, large caches, and modern processors. IDE hard drives store data in a hardware cache (temporary memory) and write the data to the hard disk later. For these computers, data can be lost during the shutdown process because the amount of time that it takes for fast processors to shut down is so short that the hard disk may shut down before the data in the cache is written to the hard drive. This update introduces a two second delay in the shutdown process, which allows the hard drive's cache to write any data to the hard drive. Download now to delay your shutdown process slightly toprevent data loss.
