Installing Windows 98

[The Green Bean]

So I already have XP pro on my PC, but apparently it does no play all my old favs. So I was wondering is there an emulation program? I have Widnows 98 and 95 both lying around. So Can I dual install? XP 98? XP 95 would be better.

I don't know what your trying to run, but have you tried using compatibility mode?
There's also a compatibility wizard, which can help run programs too.
Look under Help and Support and search for "compatibility"

You can dual boot 98 and XP, but Microsoft recommends installing 98 first then XP.

I tried running compatilbily mode. No luck. None of the Win95 games actually work with that on even.

You can try running MS virtual PC. They have a trial version I believe. Allows you to run older DOS or Windows, along with other OS's (linux, etc).

Yeah, you can do a dual install. I loaded both XP and 98se earilier this year. Simple, load/install both and then I got a boot screen asking which I wanted to use when booting up.

What old games? Check NT Compatible and DOSBox for help with running older games.
