Where are the updates for Win98?

Windows update states there are two updates for my Win98 systems. I
prefer to download the updates for a later install rather than
immediately. The two updates are for Directx and Internet Explorer.
Where are they located so that I can download them?

At the V4 Windows Catalog
(http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp). Pick MS
Windows updates, select 98/98SE from the OS scroll list, and then click
the Advanced Search option; select "Past week" and then click the Search
button. You will see 3 Critical updates returned: the IE update
(KB896688), and two for KB904706 depending on whether you have DirectX 8
or version 9 installed.
