Solved: Windows 98 Support

JDawg · 07-27-2004

As i still have a Windows 98 PC in the family, I was wondering, do Microsoft still issue patches etc for this operating system? If yes, when do they plan on stopping the support?

I found this which should help you if you do need support with a Win98 PC.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...d=fh;EN-US;w98

To WNA - Back in 2002, Windows 98 & 98SE were scheduled to enter "End of Life" on June 30, 2004, while Windows Millennium Edition (ME) was scheduled to reach that stage on December 31, 2005. Last June Microsoft extended the "End of Life" date for Windows 98 & 98SE to January 16th, 2005.
