    Windows Update dead

    I'm setting up a new machine with a clean install of 98SE. In the Start menu, when I click on 'Windows Update', nothing happens.

    I can access it if I simply type in the URL into the browser (IE5.5), but the Start link is dead.

    Any ideas??

    i went to windows update aabout 2 months ago and instead of the page loading in my browser normally it showed a plain white page with "Hacked By Chinese" in red letters...

    even M$FT cannot keep their own servers & networks secure 100% of the time, and anymore i do not take M$ Windoze serously, and i do NOT keep ANY critical files or files that may contain personal info that could be exploited by a hacker...
    end

    kenlinzee - Sorry.

    johnking - You da man!!
    However, I just 'repaired' IE (from add/remove) and it seemed to fix things up. Things seem OK....for the moment!

    Thanks again.
