Hello:

I am having an issue with Windows 98SE Update page. I cannot download any updates because of the error message that prompts the following message:

Microsoft Windows Explorer:
Your current security settings prohibit runningg ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.

How do I correct this issue in my settings in order to download necessary updates?
Your help is desperately needed to solve this problem

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
purdew112

Look in IE > Tools > Internet Options > Secuirty > Custom button (although usually "medium" security invokes this).

If you mean MS Windows Updates it came as a surprise to me that there is anything still available for W98SE.

I installed win 98SE as upgrade from win 98FE and there is still on Microsofts website all the upgrades they did before 2006 when they stopped there support for this OS...I did a download from site thru MICROSOFT UPDATE and got the old security updates that way,ofcourse there will not be any more...

Theres an inofficial servicepack for win 98SE that you can find on google(that contains all security updates and more..I did not install it because they say it needs a clean win98SE version to be secure and as I have an upgraded version I am not sure it will be ok for my sistem..

I am fixing up my oldest pc as a learning machine for my children

The pre-2006 updates vanished from MS website for quite a while, so I assumed they had pulled them. From what you say I guess it was just a glitch - thx for info.
