is there an option so that you have windows update scan your system, and it downloads the files but doesn't automatically run them?

Try this link:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

In the right hand window should be an option for it to scan your computer for updates. I am running win2k and after it scans and finds updates to install you pick which ones you want to d/l and then it installs them automatically. I don't know if it works the same for 98 or if there is a way around this. You can delete updates later on if you are having problems with them.

Opps sorry I didn't see that Insidious had provided a link already.

yeah, i want to have it download those updates, but not install them. so i can keep them all on a cd and update the laptop without internet connection, or when msft stops supporting it.

I don't understand what you are missing here.... follow this link.... when you click on each download, it will ask you where you want to save it.......

is this not exactly what you are asking for?
