III. What are the resolved issues in Windows 98 System Update 1?
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Windows 98 System Update 1 resolves the following issues:
1. Active Accessibility update
This Update addresses issues with color schemes when using
Microsoft Active Accessibility options.
2. USB updates
The following KB articles have been addressed:
--Q189591 Computer Does Not Resume To Recognize USB Device
From Standby
If you connect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device to a Windows 98-
based computer while the computer is in Standby mode, the computer
does not resume from Standby mode to process the USB device connection
and immediately recognize the new USB device. The computer remains in
Standby mode and may not recognize the USB device once resumed.
--Q222600 Bulk Transfer URBs Can Specify More Than 64 Bytes
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.00 specification defines bulk
transfers to be 4, 8,16, 32 or 64 bytes. However, the
TransferBufferLength field of _URB_BULK_OR_INTERRUPT_TRANSFER can
specify a much larger byte size. The USB specification limits the
bulk transfer size to a maximum of 64 bytes at the port driver level.
3. Networking updates
The following KB articles have been addressed:
--Q220586 Computer with Plug and Play Network Adapter Is Not Found
After you upgrade to Windows 98 on a Microsoft Windows 95-based
computer with a Plug and Play Network Interface Card (NIC) installed,
your computer may not be visible in Network Neighborhood to other
computers on the network.
--Q178979 System Policy to Require Validation by Network May Not Work
If you are using a system policy that requires validation by the
network for Windows access, you may be able to access the desktop
even when the network does not validate your user account.
4. Other issues
The following KB articles have been addressed:
--Q216641 Computer Hangs After 49.7 Days
If your computer is left running 49.7 days without restarting, your
Windows 98-based computer may stop responding (hang). This is caused
by a problem with the timing algorithm in the Vtdapi.vxd file.
--Q216565 New Dialing Rules for Spain and Italy Require TAPI Update
A new numbering and dialing plan for Spain became effective as of
April 3, 1998. The previous numbering and dialing plan was
discontinued as of June 5, 1998. As a result, on a computer running
Windows 98 you may not be able to correctly dial long-distance
telephone numbers if your current dialing location is in Spain or
Italy.
