A Website with older versions of Programs for W98?

http://members.tripod.com/erpman1/w98meupd.html

This is one Windows 98 site but I don't know if it's located here in the UK or not.

You may also find something of interest on AXCEL'S Win 98 page;
http://www.mdgx.com/ or on Lightspeeds's Reference page;
http://www.oldstuff.myagora.net/lightspeed/main.html (although he seems to specialise in DOS, 3.1 and 95).

Lots of detail to get into!!

(Sorry. Just re-read your post and realised that you didn't mean only 98 fixes and patches. I'll leave the post in case the links are of use to anyone else).

Gary R,

Might this site be of more use to you (though it's for several flavours of Windoze and not all freeware):

I haven't used anything from this site and the usual advice about being careful with downloads from unknown sources applies here.
