All of a sudden, my windows updates all fail in VPC 6.1.1. I have 2
images, an XP pro and a 98, and at the same time , they BOTH started
failing. Same thing after reinstalling VPC 6.1.1

Same thing happens if I try to play any games on MSN zone (which I have
been doing for a long time). Now, the zone fails to load and can't
install update files.

I am on Mac OSX 10.3.5.

What the heck is going on???????

Do you otherwise have internet access? Can you browse the web?

How do the updates fail? Do you get an error message? Are you being
redirected to a different site? If you get an error message, press Alt+ Prt
Scr and post it.

Update - after reinstalling VPC 6.1 and reinstalling Win 98, I was able
to run Windows updates but still get errors when going to msn.zone.com
and try to install game. It seems that I cannot get some activex file
installed. However, I can install say Macromedia Flash with no problem.

Yes, I have internet connectivity and most everything seems ok, but
this is a mystery.

Now, one more important item. Last week my file permissions got screwy
and I had to do an Archive and Install of Panther. However, after doing
all that my zone access was ok until yesterday.

Thanks for any ideas...
