UNOFFICIAL Windows98 Second Edition Service Pack 2.0 (Freeware)
Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE. But I made a Service Pack for Windows98 SE users. It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more.
It is a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft’s update files. Thus, you cannot choice files individually. However, the pack installs only required fixes for your system. Uninstallation is possible from Add-Remove Programs. However, I don’t recommend uninstallation of the pack, if you don’t have any problem.
This is only for WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION ENGLISH. I highly recommend that you should backup your system before installing the pack. You must have at least 32 MB of RAM.
It contains only operating system updates. It does NOT contain Internet Explorer 6, DirectX 9, Media Player 9 and their updates.
Note_: All old version users should install this version without uninstalling old version. Features of 2.0: – 100+ hotfixes (Detailed list will be prepared soon).

are you saying MS never released a SP (anything) for win98se or never released a win98se sp2? i always thought that win98se WAS the sp for win98 (or equal to it). other than that you just have to get the win98se updates.
