windows 98
Hello everybody, Can anybody know if I can use windows 98 under windows 7 professional (64 bit)? I still have some very old programs that do run under windows 98. Can I create virtual PC under windows 7 professional (64 bit) ? Can I install win 98 over that virtual PC? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can install Windows 98 in Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ (with XP Mode you have Windows XP SP3, which may run your programs), VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ or Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/.

I understand that I can install 64 bit version of Virtual PC under my windows 7 operating system. Yes, for a 64Bit Windows you need the 64Bit (x64) VirtualPC version: Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Dear Andre, I understand that I can install 64 bit version of Virtual PC under my windows 7 operating system. But, as far as I know windows 98 is not a 64 bit operating system. Isn't that correct? I really do not want to have conflicts. Will you please comment? Regards, Osman
