Have you tried running programs in compatibility mode in WinXP? I know there are some games that will just not run on XP but I've found most programs will run once you get it set up correctly. The biggest problem for older programs under WinXP is the visual themes feature that changes the way windows looks. Once you turn that off under compatibility mode many programs work fine. You can change compatibility settings by right clicking on the exe file and going to the compatibility tab. This even helps some games.

Clint, Well, this system is going to be dual boot, with both 98SE as well as XP Pro. I have too many programs, such as games, utilities, and other programs, that will not run under XP. So need to be able to have a working version of 98SE available for those programs, and then XP for everything more current. It is interesting how many people, both in the corporate world as well as on a more private basis, still have to use 98SE for too many legacy programs, which is the big reason I personally think for MS still going to support 98SE. Time will tell on too many things. Ralph ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
