How to run Win 98 application on XP

**Anilrgowda** · 15-Feb-2007, 03:47 AM

have WinXp Sp2. Is there a way to run Win98 application on it? I copied the folder with that application to my XP hard drive. When I tried to run it, it was asking for some dll's. I copied necessary dll's in XP System folder from Win98 System folder. The application does start now, but it doesn't work as it is supposed to. What can you guys suggest?

The best way to do this is to install the program from its original media. If you do not do this you can run in to issues. Such as you mentioned. Once the program is installed, you can then select a compatibility mode if necessary.
