Windows 98 Se Update Manager (dumped)

[Guest phoenix22]

I accidently on purpose dumped my w98se profile and active x control........so when i try to access windows update ...i get the admin only page ......the scan loads for a millisecond and then straight to the admin page.......can you help me get thru the r-tape to get back the files....so that the update mangler will run normally......or have i totally screwed the preverbial pooch?? thanks ...jd System is updated and current right thru ms-023

Run the 98SE disc and select install. It will replace missing or corrupt files, but will not install another full copy over the top, even though it appears to take a long time.

what i actually dumped was the update class in the sys file (dnlded program files)

you could try this posted by bvw

Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each line: net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2

net start cryptsvc

Type exit to close the command prompt.

Be sure to type the commands carefully

i dont think that will work in 98SE mate

i think what you need to do is firstly fix the registry, to do thats restart computer in ms-dos, to do that select start, shut down computer and then select restart in ms-dos

when in dos, type "scanreg/fix" (without the quotes)

when the registry has fixed its self then restart computer

come back after you have done this

In the future ...........if some old fellar like me (who has the brains to fix cars and aircraft).....develops a similar problem........this >IS< the cure .........and it is as simple as clicking the help button in IE6 going to control panel and click on add and remove Microsft Internet Explorer IE6 SP1 then .....repair.....all the missing downloaded program files, (update class, macromedia shock and flash), will be fixed after you reboot.....You do need to download and re-install the macro media players.....otherwise it's all in the repair function.........

well since most people use xp now and the repair option in I/E is not available in xp I would have just stuck the xp cd in and choose the repair option.
