Windows ME unofficial service pack?
I have an old Compaq Presario 1277 laptop that I'm trying to do a clean install on. There is an unofficial service pack for Windows 98, but I can't find anything for Windows ME. This laptop does not have an ethernet port, so internet is almost out of the question. Is there any "final" update pack for ME that I can download somewhere??

Don't know about service packs, but here's some security patches.

Ewww Millenium... so many awful memories. I upgraded to that and it crashed my computer like almost instantly...
Otherwise, sorry for the off topic post. Ive got nothin for you... maybe get a slot card ethernet adaptor and download the updates that way?

Destroy Windows ME.
I don't think there's a service pack anywhere, no. Unless you count XP as a service pack.

I know this is what everyone is thinking so here goes. What are you doing installing Windows ME is ***** and why are you not installing XP instead?

There are no service packs for ME.
Windows 98 'service pack' was cobbled together by users IIRC. I think you'll have to attempt to get it to connect to the internet - USB wifi could work.

You should use Linux.
diatec, it may be too old of a system to run XP effectively. Maybe Windows 2000, but probably not XP. Xubuntu ftw.

It's probably the only license available for the laptop. He probably doesn't have an extra XP license laying around...

I would just find myself a copy of Windows 98SE, stable fast and better than ME in many ways.
