Since I updated I now see KB891711 running at Startup and a Google search
confirmed it to be a MS
security issue patch or something like that.
Do as Janet says, update one at a time then you can identify the problem
update, you can do this by
selecting one at a time. Always back up your registry prior to installing
updates but I think W98
does save the registries for the past 5 days. I would ensure system is clean
by running AV and anti
spyware progs and then try updating again but one update at a time.
You could also consider installing former Roxio now Symantec Go-Back, a real
life saver.

Yesterday morning I did the Windows Update thing (as I regularly do) for
my 1GHz PIII running Win 98se. It found 6 updates (4 for Windows, 2 for
IE, IIRC) so I clicked to download and install them, then clicked to say
"yes" to restarting the computer. The computer hung and never shut
down, so I had to power off, and after that it would not fully reboot
(it would appear to fully rebooted to the desktop, but an hourglass
remained next to the mouse pointer, and the computer would not respond
to the mouse or keyboard, except that the mouse pointer would move but
not respond to clicking the buttons, and the keyboard would not respond
to anything except Ctl-Alt-Del).
It took me two days to get it straightened out (after reinstalling Win
98 about 20 times); the final thing I did that appears to have done the
trick was that one of the 6 update files appears to have added itself to
the Startup tab of my MSConfig file, so I unchecked it (the file was
C:\Windows\System\KB891711\KB891711.exe).
Normally, after reinstalling Win98, I would do a Windows Update and
install all the new stuff, but I am a little concerned. Any brilliant
ideas on why this happened or if I am in danger if I install all the
updates again?
TIA
Matt
