Great. (cant think why I didnt see that first time.. old age?) I posted in this thread that I used 98 to post with.. Question; I just used msinfo on this 98 machine, and even though it is SP1 and IE6, it doesnt show that?? It shows me running IE5. Any ideas, just curious, dont really care; already know machine is SP1 and IE6 and has been for last 5yrs,, so I dont really give a hoot what msinfo says,,, I already know what is and isnt.

My 98se is running SP1 and IE6,, guess I got to be grateful for what I got.... has never let me down.

It's a bug in the Win98 msinfo32, I guess....it says IE 5 but the version number after that is what you look at...should be 6.0.2800.1106 for IE6 SP1. There is no SP for Win98...the SP1 is for IE6 -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |
