How can I use older software with Windows XP?

Question

I have and old language program for win95 or 98. I would like to use it in XP. How do I go about using it?

Answer 1

Just install it :)
After the install, right-click on the icon for your language program and go to PROPERTIES. Then click the COMPATABILITY tab at the top. Make sure you add a checkmark where it says "COMPATABILITY MODE" and select Windows 98 or 95. Then it should work :)

If you cant even get it to install, right-click on the *.exe file on the CD (the one you would double-click to install) and select PROPERTIES. Then click the COMPATABILITY tab at the top. Make sure you add a checkmark where it says "COMPATABILITY MODE" and select Windows 98 or 95. Then it should work :)

Hoep this helped :)

Just install the program in winXP if it allows and go to the folder where you have installed the Application. Right click the EXE and you would find option for compatilibility. Select 95 or 98 from the list.

If Xp doesnt allow you to install go to microsoft.com and download virtual PC. Create and install a win95 or win98 machine. You can run a OS from a single file and install the application in the virtual PC.

Still need help get back to me.
