The only feature you could not get through the SP1 upgrade for Win98 was ICS. Other than that, it will be the same as 98SE.
Thats correct. The difference in Win98SE was IE5 replaced IE4, ICS was added and whole alot of patches. I can not believe that MS had the nerve to charge 50$ for the upgrade when you could get everything except ICS from Windows Update.

Great. Glad to be of help. I had to go thru hundreds old CDs this morning to find the CD. Microsoft offered it for $20 at one time.

Windows update turns out to be a no-go. Where can I find W98 SP2 which should basically turn it into W98 SE IIRC.

All I am familiar with is Service Pack 1 which adds some Year 2000 updates, enhanced hardware and software support and more for Windows 98.
Check here:

Re:Well, OSR2 was a version of Windows 95. I don't think what you are asking for does exist, or someone would have posted some info. Windows 98 updated via Windows Update would be the latest version you can achieve.
Re:Aaaaah. I give up? So you have no idea what I mean then LOL!
For the last time: I belive there was an upgrade that made W98 first edition that (almost) upgraded it to W98 Second Edition. If there is no such thing I apologize.

Re:OSR2 was the second version of Win95 and IIRC it was only OEM
Re:was OSR 2 not a release of Windows 95 rather than Windows 98? As far as I'm aware there was Win 98 and Win98SE but no patch to upgrade the former to the latter

Here's 98SE 1.5 (http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/9/13-9-191.shtml)
I was looking for the service pack that upgraded W98 to SE, I think it was called OSR 2 or something.

there is win98fe … win98se … and then some dude made an SP for win98 .. but never a SP2 w98
OK, my bad. I just need the SP. The reason is that a friend of mine need to install a wireless network card in her lappy and she needs W98 SE but only has the first edition. Someone told me the SP would make it work.
Re:i have a SE upgrade CD kicking around somewhere
Re:You can get a Windows Security Update disc free from Microsoft. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=833242 to order your disc. It covers Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP.
Re:there is win98fe … win98se … and then some dude made an SP for win98 .. but never a SP2 w98
Re:Shouldn't bother with Windows 98 since Microsoft stopped supporting it… you'll get no patches or updates of any kind.
