    Hi, folks! I have several machines running Windows 98SE and I need to get the latest updates, etc. So, I go to Windows Update. Woops! Instead of the usual checking for software page, I get a page thanking me for my interest in obtaining updates, that the site is for Windows Updates and offering to take me to the site for Mac updates! Windows Update Error Message[^] I really need to get these systems up to date. Any ideas as to what might be confusing the updates site? TIA!!
