Windows XP stinks...

Mark620 · 02-11-2007, 08:46 PM

My kids have many programs that WILL NOT WORK nor can they be made to work with any OS above win98...now I have to setup win 98 machines for them to play their games on...they need XP for some and 98 for others...their new machines will not run win98...no support in 98 for these machines...

haha, yeah my kids have some games that just don't completely work right on XP either, but I just tell them it doesn't work, don't feel like putting 98 on anything.

Most of the games will not install...

Mine doesn't smell that much... Jokes! But compatibility is rather rubbish on OS's above 2000, I would rather go for a Linux sometimes!

Hey thats a easy problem. Get yoursself a emulator which could emulate win98 environment. Or install Vmware and boot it with windows 98 on your windows XP running. That would solve your problem. I`d suggest you to tell your kids to grow up from classic games of win98
