I have two IBM 586 233 mhz computers, one is running Win98 US version and the
second is running Win98 Thai version. I have used the Microsoft Security CD
that came out in Feb of this year on the US version and it ran ok. My
question is: Can I use the same CD to run on the Win98 Thai version? The
Thai version was purchased in Thailand and comes from Microsoft Thailand. I
am concerned that the US Microsoft Security CD could cause problems, can
someone give me some advise as I want my Thai children to be able to use the
computer on the Internet. I have tried going to the Windows Update site with
the Thai version and it fails the check for current update software, will not
load current version and will not let me install any updates where as the US
version works ok.
Please, any assistance would be appreciated.

Did you order and receive the English (US) version of the CD? I would not
run it on a Thai-language version of Win98, no.

On the problem machine, try disabling the anti-virus application and
firewall (Be careful!) to see if it helps.

Thanks for your response. Yes I did order the Microsoft Security CD when it
became available last February and I ran it ok on the US version of Win98 SE.

I understand your response that I should not run the Security CD on the Thai
Version of Win98 SE. That is what I thought, but I just wanted to get a
little advice on the subject.

Thank you for your ideas on fixing the problem machine not working on the
Windows update site. The machine does have Anti Virus and a McFee Personal
Firewall installed as the system is cable modem connected to the internet.
Also appreciate the links you gave for trouble shooting the update failure.
