Unofficial Windows 98 SE Service Pack
By Alper Coskun a.k.a Gape

Web Hosting Services – Everything You Need to Know

Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users. It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more.

It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft’s update files. Thus, you cannot choice files individually. However, the pack installs only required fixes for your system. Uninstallation is possible from Add-Remove Programs. However, I don’t recommend uninstallation of the pack, if you don’t have any problem.

This is only for WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. I highly recommend that you should backup your system before installing the pack. You must have at least 32 MB of RAM.

It contains only operating system updates. It does NOT contain Internet Explorer 6, DirectX 9, Media Player 9 and their updates.

For support, discussion and BETA versions, please go to the forum.

Are you currently using MS Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) Full, Upgrade, OEM or Updates (SEU) (English)?
Do you have a MS Windows Millennium Edition (ME) Full, Upgrade or OEM Setup CD-ROM (English)?
Do you want to improve/speed up your Win98 SE(U) GUI, OLE, DDE, GDI, Dial-Up Networking (DUN), Winsock, TCP/IP, LAN/WAN, Multimedia/Audio/Video, USB, FireWire components [and others I don’t even recall off of the top of my head :)], without putting up with the notorious WinME annoyances?
If you answered “Yes” to all these questions, you’re in for a •HUGE• treat!
The goal here is building the ultimate Windows 9x OS by “transplanting” the newer ME system files onto 98 SE, and YES, you too CAN do this at home, kids…

This one aims to get visual effects like fading menu’s etc to Windows 9x. Didn’t work for me though.
