"Could Not Install"
Version: Windows 98 SE Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.4
Summary
The update tells me that I don't have the right version of Windows. I have 98 SE and I am using 1.4 for 98 SE. After reading some of the comments here, that might be a good thing.

"DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE!"
Version: Windows 98 SE Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.4
Summary
As soon as I installed this awful update it crashed the TCP/IP stack and uninstalling it did not fix the problem. The only thing that will fix it is to uninstall DUN (dont reboot!), delete the HKEYLOCALMACHINES-System-CurrentControlSet-Services-Winsock2 key from the registry, reinstall DUN, and finally reboot your system. That should enable you to get back online immediately.

"Be Afraid.....Be Very Afraid"
Version: Windows 98 SE Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.4

I too,like many people installed this "wicked" update and could not get signed on to my ISP after that. This went on for several days before I had to reformat and install Windows again. Install At Your Own Risk!

"those of you who had no probs are in the minority"
Version: Windows 98 SE Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.4
Summary
shame on CNET for not having posted one of the neg. comments on the main page. since it's a minor MS upgrade, i installed it w/o question. huge mistake. i had the same probs as many people here. i could not connect. i spent three hrs and had to go to my parents' to get online and find a solution. no MS phone support either. MANY thanks to the anon. person who said to unins. DUN, don't reboot but del the HKLM-System-CurrentControlSet-Services-Winsock2 key from the Registry, and reins. DUN (then reboot) - that fixed it. phew.

"Unnecessary hassle...not worth the risk"
Version: Windows 98 SE Dial-Up Networking Upgrade 1.4
Summary
i personally haven't installed it. but from what i read of others' experiences, i think it's a hornet's nest best left alone. afterall, who needs 128-bit encryption at the risk of a reformat or not being able to connect at all. there is no other reason to install this program other than being excessively paranoid about security
