Right click the program icon and go to properties. There should be a tab that says "Compatibility". Click that, and change the settings.
Of course, I'm using XP, and haven't used 98 for a long, long time, so I could be wrong.

Only downward compatibility works. If you had XP and wanna run in 98 mode, that will work. But from 98 you will never get XP mode, also 98 and XP architecture are entirely different. So a program written for 95/98 only will not work in any of the NT platform (NT/2000 or XP)

twin-boot residing house windows Vista (got here on the notebook; I purely use it for iTunes and NetFlix online viewing) and Ubuntu Linux (the single i individually use.) even with a twin-center proccesser and four gigabytes of RAM (on a working laptop or notebook which became ostensibly made to run Vista, and could no longer settle for an XP installation) residing house windows Vista is buggy and runs like a slug. I downloaded and discovered to apply Linux basically to flee from residing house windows Vista. In transforming into Vista, Microsoft has achieved lots to help the open-source circulate- whether that became genuinely no longer what they meant. On my previous notebook I ran residing house windows XP, it extremely is the only residing house windows OS i've got ever cherished... :/ Too undesirable my new comp is rigged to reject it...
