About dialog

Windows 98 build 1423 is a build of Windows 98, which was released during WinHEC 1997, San Francisco, California on 8-10 April 1997 as a "Developer Release Update".

Changes[edit | edit source]

Internet Explorer 4 was downgraded to Internet Explorer 3.02. As a result, Outlook Express 4.0 was likewise downgraded back to Internet Mail and News 1.0, and HTML Help has been removed.
Temporarily removed the Windows Desktop Update and the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. They would later be re-added in build 1525, albeit with the latter feature now located in the Quick Launch bar.
- The removal also caused the File Copy dialog to show the progress again for every file instead of the overall action when copying multiple files.
Removed the Settings Wizards introduced in build 1410.
A slightly newer version of ActiveMovie is now included.
The "Still Image" Control Panel applet has been renamed to "Scanners and Cameras".

Bugs[edit | edit source]

It is not recommended to upgrade from builds 1400-1415, due to the older version of Internet Explorer. If doing this, cancel installation of IE 3 during configuration. The same with build 1434.
