Chris Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 A service pack for Windows 98 Second Edition has been released. Big deal, right? It is if it doesn't come from Microsoft. Last Friday, Windows enthusiast Alper Coskun posted something he dubbed "Service Pack 1.5" for Windows 98 SE on his Web site. Although clearly labeled as "Unofficial," the Service Pack uses updates and hot fixes Coskun collected from the Windows Update service site and Microsoft's Knowledge Base database. The service pack includes 70 hot fixes, a solution to the 512MB memory limit of Windows 98 SE, and better USB support, claimed Coskun on his Web site. The self-extracting, self-installing pack only includes updates to the operating system, not fixes for such bundled software such as Internet Explorer or Media Player. Although Microsoft produced a Service Pack for Windows 98 in 1999, it never rolled out one for Second Edition. Coskun's site even has a legal disclaimer at the bottom of the page whose fine print reads: "This software is provided 'as-is,' without any express or implied warranty."More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
