Michael -

Sorry, I don't have Win98 running to look at it. My last survivor with Win98 committed suicide by frying the graphics card.

My recollection is that most of the Win98 bluescreens I ran into were largely a matter of more programs than memory, or programs that tried to use "unapproved" methods for accessing memory or drives. It's possible that the security patches blocked an "illegal access" method that one of your programs is still trying to use.

I believe that some of the fine print said that Microsoft will provide support for the patches, even though Win98 and WinME themselves are "out of warranty." I'd suggest checking with Mickey's support to complain. Most of the features affected by recent patches can be modified by fairly simple tweaking of settings, but I have no way of looking at what might work.
