Mark, why am I not finding a patch at the page that comes up when I click
this address? I get immediately shuffled off to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/x86/w98/en/thanksstart.htm and from there
can only follow links to general Win98 update pages. Following the links, I
wasn't able to find anything about a security patch for Outlook Express.
Since I haven't switched over from Win95, I can't use the auto update
feature that Win98 provides. Any help to suggest?
