Unofficial service Pack Windows 98 SE crashed my system

I downloaded the "unofficial" service pack from this site for Windows 98 SE and when I installed and rebooted, my machine booted into safe mode promping me to re-install windows. After cancelling that I rebooted and the same thing happened. I rebooted again and it tried to restore my registry and it still when to the setup screen. I wen through the first 3 dialog boxes and I started getting blue screen Virtual Device (VxD) errors.

I had to put my 98 SE cd in and reinstall. After that, although my apps continued to work, they were absent from the Add\Remove applet in the Control Panel. I had to reinstall all apps to fix this.

I strongly advise against installing this "unofficial" Service Pack.

 

There isn't a Service Pack for Win9x. The unofficial one is just a roll-up of all the existing patches released by MS so you don't have to download and install 400 patches one by one.
