Agreed and what I also noted.
WU does not offer all the updates that would or should be installed. The
files still offered are the ones which apparently caused no issues or which
had been repaired/updated or replaced...
That particular update [IIRC] was part of the December 2005 updates which
broke hundreds of thousands of 98 computers... could be wrong and I'm not
really interested at the moment.
I'm sure she appreciated all your help. Judging by what you say has
occurred, that computer would be a good candidate for complete re-install,
though I don't believe she may be up to it. I didn't look at that link, but
yeah, it surely wouldn't work using /nv.
Yeah, Autopatcher can cause lots of issues at times, and does make it
nearly impossible to use it as any kind of reference.
