Hi David,
The recommended solution is to use Compatibility mode
to get those older games to work in Windows XP.
Modifying your Windows XP installation the way you
suggest is just inviting problems later down the road.
If you are determined to run Windows 98SE withing your
Windows XP installation, try a Virtual PC for 45 days from:

|| Hi David,
||
|| Although you cannot port the Windows 98 Kernal to Windows XP...
|| Try installing and playing that using 95/98 Compatibility mode.
||
|| To install a program using Windows XP's Compatibility Mode, hold
|| down SHIFT as you insert the game CD, use My Computer to browse
|| to the setup program, and then skip down to step 1 in the list below:
||
|| To run an installed program using Windows XP's Compatibility Mode,
|| first right click the program and "Send To..." / Desktop (create shortcut).
||
|| 1.. Right click on the shortcut to the program.
|| 2.. Click on Properties.
|| 3.. Click on the Compatibility tab.
|| 4.. Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of
|| these:
|| a.. Windows 95
|| b.. Windows 98
|| c.. Windows NT 4
|| d.. Windows 2000
|| 5.. Under Display settings, check mark the mode that you think that is
|| best:
|| a.. Run in 256 colors.
|| b.. Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution.
|| c.. Disable visual themes.
||
|| Click on Apply.Click on Ok.Double click on the program.
||
|| Of course, let's not forget to check for any patches or updates for that
|| game.
|| A good place to find them is:

||
|| If you'd like to learn more information about compatibility mode, you can
|| click the
|| link in the Compatibility tab that reads "Learn more about program
|| compatibility",
|| or watch this Application Compatibility Power Point Presentation:
