update freezes at 66%

trying to run windows update. my pc runs windows 98, using ie 6.0 to access
the update site. when i click "scan for updates", it scans and hits 33% then
66% quickly - and locks up at 66%. The updates appears to stop, even after
several minutes, and IE locks up. If I cntrl-alt-del to access the device
manager, it reas that ie is not reposnding.

any suggestions?

thanks

look for 66%

"

how do I go about doing that...

The spoolss.dll file is protected by the operating system so you have to
manually replace it from a command prompt. To replace the file you will need
to boot Win98 while pressing the F8 key so you get the Windows 98 StartUp
menu. On this menu, select option 5 and boot to a Command Prompt. Use the
Copy command to manually replace the file.

What do I need to type?
