Unfortunately not, as the qfecheck tool only supports Win 2000 and Win XP.

Did you try http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to check if the patch is
missing (and apply if it is indeed missing)?

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823559

has a link to enable manual download and application of the patch (for Win
98).

Please try it out and check if it works properly this way.

Do let us know if this helps. Thanks!

According to the KB at (towards the end for Win 98):

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;823559

you can compare file versions to verify installation status. In addition, if
Add/Remove Programs indicated that the patch is installed, this probably would
be a good sign that it is indeed installed successfully. You may want to try
uninstalling it first before performing a reinstallation just to be sure.

One last note though - some security bulletins are superceded by newer
updated versions e.g. MS04-012 replaces MS03-026. You will have to check if
MS03-023
has been superceded or not.

Sorry if I cannot be of further help.

Thanks!

This is my file location if you want to compare.
Follow the steps:
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/needagain.htm

It is listed in add/remove programs.

start>run type: qfecheck
enter > click on '98 to expand
see if it is listed or has an error

You should have this:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TEXTCONV\HTML32.CNV
modified: 27-Jun-2003 02:19; v. 2003.1100.5426; 311,864 bytes
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TEXTCONV\MSCONV97.DLL
modified: 27-Jun-2003 02:19; v. 2003.1100.5426; 116,288 bytes

And in the registry should have these:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{2806b4d1-cadf-4568-99df-1c8836a6b4bc}]
@="Windows 98 Q823559 Update"
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
"Locale"="EN"
"Version"="4.10.0.1998"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup\Updates\W98\UPDQ823559]
@="Windows 98 Q823559 Update"
"C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\Micros~1\\TextConv\\html3 2.cnv"="2003.1100.5426.0"
"C:\\PROGRA~1\\COMMON~1\\Micros~1\\TextConv\\mscon v97.dll"="2003.1100.5426.0"
