There are three options for obtaining the Year 2000 Update:
- If you are currently running Windows 98 and your computer is
connected to the Internet, the easiest way to get the Year 2000
Update is to click on the Windows Update shortcut in your Start
menu. When Internet Explorer loads and shows the updates page,
check the box next to "Year 2000 Update" and click
on the "Download Now" button.
- If the Windows Update will not work (or you prefer) you may
download the update manually.
**NOTE** Windows Update
checks your system to see if you also need the update for the
Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (a component included with
Windows 98) and automatically downloads it if needed. If you
opt to download the Year 2000 Update manually, you may also
need to
download the Java VM update manually.
- You can obtain the update on a CD-ROM by
filling out a web order form, or by calling 1-800-363-2896.
The CD-ROM and shipping are free. This is your best option if
you have no Internet connection or a slow modem (< 28,800 baud).
