I am about to rebuild my PC without an internet connection.
Is there anyway I can get all the latest updates to Windows ME via another
computer.
In other words, simply download and save them to a CD fo later use.

Access the Windows Update Catalogue  
(http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp) from  
another PC. You can also access the Windows Update Catalogue from the  
Windows Update site but first you need to click "Personalize Windows  
Update" in the left hand pane and then in the right hand pane check  
"Display link to the Windows Update Catalogue" after which you should now  
see it in the left hand pane as an option.
 
When at the WU Catalogue click Find updates for Microsoft Windows  
operating systems.  Select Windows Millennium and then click Search.  You  
will now be offered 148 or so patches.  Click Critical Updates and Service  
Packs (currently 61) and then use the Mark I eyeball to locate the  
required hotfixes.  <vbg>

Date wise or number wise ?
Thanks.

AAH,
 
With a clean install I'd always start with 290700, I'd then go for IE6 SP1  
before installing any patches as many of those are either incorporated in  
IE6 SP1 or are different once IE has been updated.  Note also that the  
Windows Update Catalogue will only provide the IE6 SP1 stub installer and  
other methods are required to download all the Win Me files for installing  
on another PC - post back if you require details of what you need to do.
 
As for the critical no IE/OE patches then I'd suggest older before newer.  
What I would strongly urge is that not only 290700 is first installed by  
itself but also that not too many updates are installed at a time without  
rebooting and checking the system out for connectivity, functionality,  
etc.
 
Personally I'd leave DirectX until the end and wouldn't necessarily  
recommend the installation of WMP9 but then again my dislike for that  
particular piece of software is fairly well known to many reading this  
newsgroup.  Likewise the .NET Framework, if required, can be left to the  
end but if installed will then need to be updated.  I'm not sure what I  
would recommend today for Java.  Win Me can be upgraded to MS Java v3810  
(the last from Microsoft) and would probably recommend this, either that  
or the removal of MS Java, and that the latest Sun Java be installed.
 
I'd also use regularly use the Windows Update site to check which patches  
to install during the upgrade even if I had previously downloaded all the  
patches and were making the actual installs from those downloads.

This is slightly out-of-date, as it relates to the Security Update cd and I
couldn't be bothered to keep updating it once the cd was no longer
available. Essentially, patches common across platforms have been superceded
(except MDAC 2.8) while patches specifically for Win ME remain relevent as
there haven't been many since the cd.
 
Anyway, this is the order the Windows Security Update cd installs them (most
if not all of the download links still work, too):

Your website is very helpful, I think there is still
a bit of scope to add up, if you can, somemore contents from
the Windows Security Update Cd which will really provide
a very good guide for users as some of the references on the
Security cd may not be existing now after about 18 months.

Good guess. Accessibility to the Security updates will end June 30,  
2006. Here's the skinny on the whole enchilada :
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean1
 
"
     * Paid incident support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition,  
and Windows Millennium Edition (Me) is available through June 30, 2006.
     * Critical security updates will be provided on the Windows Update  
site through June 30, 2006.
     * Customers may request non-critical security fixes for Windows 98,  
Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, and the most current version of  
their components until June 30, 2006 through typical assisted-support  
channels.
     * Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me downloads  
for existing security issues will continue to be available through  
regular assisted-support channels at no charge until June 30, 2006.
     * No-charge incident support and extended hotfix support for  
Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition ended on June 30, 2003.
     * No-charge incident support and extended hotfix support for  
Windows Me ended on December 31, 2003.
     * Online self-help support will be available until at least June  
30, 2007. "
 
Around that time the price of XP should drop due to Vista's expected  
arrival ... or, so one might wish

We are talking about the Security Update *CD-ROM's* unavailability, Mow!  
More than a guess unless you Mow otherwise.

What I could discern from AAH's post is a request for you to upload the  
updates to your site for just that reason. Which we all know can not be  
done.
Am I making any sense yet ?

Maybe, Mow, but AAH does talk about it being a guide to the cd - which of  
course it was originally intended to be (there are pages about how to edit  
the various ini files for each 9x OS to avoid installing the main  
update-bones-of-contention - but it all seems so last year now, dahling!).
 
What I took AAH to mean was to do what is actually already there, just  
hidden.
 
As for the updates, all of the links - at least for Win ME - still work,  
both for downloads and bulletins and the updates can be initiated via that  
page with one click, so if that was what AAH meant, it would be pretty  
pointless.
 
AAH, if you're reading this: he or she, that is the question? Or whether it  
is nobler to go on saying AAH said this, AAH didn't say that!
