Before you come out with another cockup read this definition: mensuration ? noun measurement. ?the part of geometry concerned with ascertaining lengths, areas, and volumes. ORIGIN C16: from late Latin mensuratio(n-), from mensurare 'to measure'. This has nothing to do with women's periodic cycles. That is your biology! hth

The GDI relates to MS Products so that's not really critical since it will only tell you there are no updates, though it might depending upon your update level {never really checked that}. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=71CD9E74-7142-4780-83E5-CE54401DA1D1&displaylang=en Overview The Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool helps detect the presence of non-Windows Microsoft products that contain the GDI+ component. Microsoft customers can run this tool to help determine if a GDI+ security update should be applied. .... This update applies to the following product: Picture It!, Picture It! Publishing, Greetings, Digital Image Pro, and Digital Image Suite, .NET Framework 1.0, .NET Framework 1.1, Visual Studio .NET 2002, Visual Studio .NET 2003. .. NET is a DO NOT INSTALL unless absolutely needed. per my post in UNICOWS.DLL [win98.gen_discussions] ---QUOTE " *SIMILAR SITUATION - .net* The same holds true for .net; it is for developers, servers, and ONLY those that require it for some reason, like within the local network. Yet you do find some that suggest installation. *Win98 at .net 1.1* [2003] and didn't even receive all of the updates [2004 SP1] to that version, and where it was left apparently vulnerable. List of bugs that are fixed in the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=867460 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?DisplayLang=en&nr=20&categoryid=7&freetext=asp.net+1.1&sortCriteria=date http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/results.aspx?freetext=.net+1.1&displaylang=en&stype=s_basic *Win98 at .net 2.0* coming out in 2006 and supposedly installable in Win98, SP1 update [2007] NOT available for Win98, nor any further. Problems that are fixed in the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945757 " --END QUOTE Of the others: the mapped drives might be useful if you have issues in your network "hanging" SYMPTOMS When you shut down Windows and you have a significant number of mapped network drives (network drives that have been assigned a local drive letter), the computer may stop responding (hang). Note that this problem is more likely to occur as the number of mapped drives increases. The threshold that has been reported most often is eight mapped drives.; Agent 2.0 was for the DOG and other stuff Microsoft Agent is a software technology that enables an enriched form of user interaction that can make using and learning to use a computer, easier and more natural.; DirectX 9.0 is there if you need it; it MAY cause issues with some older games or video adapters. Seems we drifted away from the discussion on this as none of those relate to IE6 -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___---

It's been available for direct-download on the MS site since at least 2 pm EST today. It contains the usual set of about 2 dozen IE files. I haven't checked MSFN yet, but I expect they already know the operability status of these new files on win-98. |
