Whenever I download a security update and try to install
it I get the answer IE6 has to be installed!

Result the update doesn't run. I've even tried to save the
update in my file and then do it from there no go same
result

Now I've checked and that is exactly what my PC is running.
Just can't figure it out!

I use Win98se.

Help would be extremely appreciated I on the verge on
going up the walls here
Tks.
 
I assume you're attempting to do the updating from the Microsoft Update site. You don't have to install IE 6. It's offered to you among the program and security updates on the list created for your machine by the Microsoft scan made on that site if you ask for it.

If you read the choices offered, you have the option to REMOVE the updates you don't want - so remove IE6 from the list and get the rest, if you want them all.

Good luck....

But the problem does not happen when when the windows
critical update pop up appear those I have no problem they
install o.k.

No it's about one that I'm missing and it's a security one
:((( That I tracked down and downloaded but it won't
install, the resaon is you do not have ie6 on this machine
but i do grrrrr
 
Nanook - there is something wrong in the way you explain things.. :-)

If you're missing a security update, it will show up when you let Microsoft scan your machine in Windows Update. If it doesn't show up there, you're not missing it...!!

How do you know you're missing a particular update that doesn't show up on a scan and which one is it - number please?
