Need a few answers on virtual pc:

Will virtual pc run windows 98 on a seperate window when running xp as the main operating system? Im asking coz I need windows 98 for a program that isnt compatible with xp so would this work??
and Is it the easyest way of getting round this problem?

cheers
Any help welcome

Yes it would.

By far the best system IMHO is vmware's workstation. More info here:- http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html

It really is a superb piece of kit that just get's better and better with each release. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/w/thumbs.gif

I've never used VMWARE but I've heard good things about it.
Post back and let us know how it works for you.

in xp if you right click on a program then go to properties then compatability you can select to run it with 95, 98, me, ect.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but you never know.
