I had wanted to see if some of my old W 98 software would
run on XP. I went to the Help and Support and checked
out what they had, and it just directed me to a Microsoft
Catalog Home Page window, and did not address
compatibility.
Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
Is it possible to run some W 98 SE software on XP?
Thanks
 
The easiest thing to do: Go to the web sites of the programs' creators and
look in the technical support area.

Amber:
Also if you click Start> All Programs> Accessories> You should find the
Program Compatibility Wizard which sets up XP to run all the older windows
programs. I used it quite often when I first purchased this computer,
because there weren't many XP compatible Programs. If you receive an
unsigned driver warning, and can't find one the internet, its best to just
forget it. Installing unsigned drivers can create quite a few problems as I
discovered.
