The decision to release patches for Windows 98 and ME users is described as
a "bonus" because of the critical nature of the vulnerabilities being
addressed, a Microsoft spokeswoman said. "Those products are out of
lifecycle, but we made a commitment to provide critical updates, and that's
what you're seeing."

I go through this every time there's a new patch.
I don't use Windows Update. I'm looking for some direct links.

Update: I found the patch KB891711 for both 98 and ME.
Still looking for the other one.

Mae I think these were the vulnerabilities that I wrote Bill Gates about in
my letter regarding the maintenance operating system. It was a discussion
between, me, Gary S. Terhune and Chris Cquirke. I also included information
from Vince from another discussion about how he was worried about two
critical security vulnerabilites in 98SE. Hopefully Microsoft will address
these vulnerabilities and I will research the exact words from Vince if you
want me to post that here. The letter came out to 9 pages and killed my 3820
HP printer. <smile>

You are playing with fire, darkrats but I wish you luck in your quest
although it sounds like a foolish way to do things to me especially since
Microsoft says that you need to use Windows Update to get all patches for
your computer. Have you tried calling Microsoft, introducing yourself and
asking them for help. However, be prepared to set aside a few hours for wait
time and help. Have a great day!

I just got three critical updates in my 98SE system when I went to Windows
Update. Thanks for the warning, Roman. I appreciate it and yes I did update
in February. Robear, if you are interesting in the numbers then please
e-mail me in the usual way. Thanks in advance, Dan.

Did you notice after installing 891711 that you have a new live process
running (ctrl-alt-del) which of course shows up in msconfig too. bummer they
had to do it that way and is the first time this was done that I know of. I
don't see that was done in either 2K or XP for this update but they
accomplished it another way.

Interesting I'd noticed WU had a new Root Certificates Update I had never
seen before, installing it showed v6,0,2195,0 for 9x as well as 2K

What do you need? ..888113 for 9x ..is that a real email to use?

....did you ever get 867282? etc..

Yes, it *is* a completely lame-ass way of patching a security
problem in the OS. For example, the process can be easily killed; try
it yourself via (ctrl-alt-del). On the other hand, KB891711 is causing
many problems--starting Firefox for example [guess Microsoft doesn't
bother testing their patches with Firefox :)]; so at least the user
can easily kill KB891711 in order to "correct" the problems, but then
leaving the user as vulnerable as before.

If you want to download them, you can get them through the Windows Update Catalog. You still have to go through Windows Update, but you don't have to install through WU:

Haven't found the second patch yet.

I also noticed 891711 was a live process, set to run at every boot.
My ZoneAlarm stopped working until I disabled 891711 under the startup tab.

Something weird about this.

Why do you not want to use Windows Update, Darkrats. I am puzzled by your
reasoning. Can you please explain it to me? Thanks in advance.

My Mozilla Firefox is working great on my 98SE machine and so freeworld you
must have other problems on your machine such as conflicts with that update
or spyware or viruses. I would run a full SpySweeper scan, antivirus scan,
and other associated scans as well as checking your device manager for
conflicting drivers.

Yes, it *is* a completely lame-ass way of patching a security
problem in the OS. For example, the process can be easily killed; try
it yourself via (ctrl-alt-del). On the other hand, KB891711 is causing
many problems--starting Firefox for example [guess Microsoft doesn't
bother testing their patches with Firefox :)]; so at least the user
can easily kill KB891711 in order to "correct" the problems, but then
leaving the user as vulnerable as before.

All. I installed these updates the other day, and now my machine is HOSED.
It boots up and starts Windows, then fails with several blue screens until it
finally runs out of memory. I can run in Safe Mode and DOS, but that's it.
Anyone know how to back these out from either of those modes?

Thanks,

T.

Yeah, I saw that and there's more that I don't understand.

If you open a DOSbox and issue the command "netstat -an", the output
indicates there's a new process and it's listening on port 9999.
TCP 127.0.0.1:9999 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
What's this all about? Is Win98(SE) now running "services/daemons"?

These two updates address the two "critical" vulnerabilites I was
concerned about. I must say you got awfully fast reaction to your
letter, as far as the vulnerabilities were concerned. Sweet!

You are most welcome. Vince, please let me know about other critical
security vulnerabilities that have not been addressed by Microsoft in 98
Second Edition and I will send the information to the right channels. It
helps to have the right connections. I am purposely being vague. <smile>

BTW, "Windows Update" does not work in Slovenian, Slovakian and Thai
version of Windows (I'm using Slovenian one). I must use direct links.

OTOH, "In the future, automatic e-mail notifications will be provided
when these security updates are released. To receive these notifications,
subscribe to the http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=21163 "

Best regards, Roman

It would be good to know which one of these updates did it to you?
Or, did you do other things at WU too? Anywhere/Anything else?

Both of these Updates are available in Control Panel in Add/Remove (scroll to
W's) to uninstall them so try that. but First just uncheck it in msconfig

I tracked each of the installs and specifically can tell you all the exact
changes that were made, which wasn't very much - it's just the 891711 was
unique with what they did with adding a new running process. You can search
google for 891711 and see lot's of people are having various issues with it.
It's easy to reverse the installs of either though if one wants.
