Can you copy and paste the relevant text of the page in question and post it here please?
 
Thanks for this but this was what displayed when I clicked on Windows 98 Downloads:


Software Update Incomplete


The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed:
You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.

Note These are the default settings for Internet Explorer. For more information about Internet Explorer security and instructions on how to change your security settings, read Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) Article Q174360.

I have not rejected the Trust Certificate and my security settings are the defaults.

I tried

and it would not even display - just a blank page.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the links, Clubman. I found what appeared to be the solution but alas it wasn't applicable to W98.
The Microsoft site has very little for W98 - it is mainly geared towards XP.

Do you or anyone else know how to access Windows Update using W98?? This is soooo time consuming.

As far as I know Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 98 and Windows NT within the past year (?) which might explain the dearth of information. I have successfully accessed Windows Update on some extended family PCs running Windows Me in case that's of any use?
