"Leo",
I am sorry that you are hitting this issue. This does not seem like a
Windows Update problem. Perhaps these other newsgroups would be more
helpful:
microsoft.public.win98.disks.general
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion
microsoft.public.win98.performance
microsoft.public.win98.sys_file_check
Sincerely,
Pat Walters [MSFT]
