FREE Upgrades + Fixes

ALL downloads featured here are on my •MUST HAVE• list, also found in SOFTWARE.TXT, part of my Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003 + DOS 7.xx/8.00 ©Tricks + Secrets files [W95-11D.EXE], FREEware.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST! Some of these files are archived in ZIP, RAR or 7Z format. You need a file decompression (unZIPping) tool to extract their contents. I recommend: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 users: one of these FREE(ware) 32-bit File Shrinkers. Windows/WfWG 3.1x users: Info-ZIP WiZ 16-bit (free). DOS users: one of these DOS ZIP/unZIP 16-bit tools [free(ware)]. STAY SAFE: Scan for viruses ALL files downloaded from the Internet! Operating System/software/hardware REQUIRED for installing upgrades/patches/fixes/drivers! NEWEST at the top -> OLDEST at the bottom. Installing Windows OS components/upgrades/patches/fixes/drivers/tools may require you logged on with Administrative/Power User privileges. Please let me know if you discover any broken links. Thanks. Most all software featured here is FREE(ware): Freeware Software + Free Software. I do NOT recommend any shareware or retail programs, except the few essentials on my •MUST HAVE• list, and only if I could not find any FREE(ware) alternative. Check back often for NEW tools + UPDATES. Enjoy.
