Blimey - what software requires Win98?

If its really necessary, try EBay

Put it this way, the software ALWAYS worked under Win98 but just cant get it to run under the later operating systems. Tried them all, and just have to go back to Win98 to eliminate that problem.

Have you tried running it in compatability mode on XP. I have found this usually works when I have needed it but thats not very often.

Right click on a shortcut to the program and goto the compatibility tab and select the OS you would like to try.

Hope that helps

Tried all those tricks.... Believe me, it just wont run on later than 98. I can't believe it either.

Bit nasty of it to say the least. Sometimes softwares a bitch and other times its just a pain in the arse.

I have a Win98 SE disc (genuine) gathering dust, free to a good home if you're still looking...
