Got loads of photos on floppy disk ,made when i had windows 98.I have tried
opening them but it says"This disk was compressed using DriveSpace 3, which
requires Windows 98.1. Run DriveSpace by choosing Run from the Windows 98
Start menu,
and then typing DRVSPACE.

2. In DriveSpace, click the drive that contains this disk,
click the Advanced menu, and then click Mount.
To mount and use this compressed disk, you must be running
Windows 98.
(If this file is located on a drive other than the physical drive
that contains the disk, then the compressed drive is already mounted).

To use this disk, you must first mount it. To mount it:
Is there a way for me to get to view these pictures on XP ? Cheers Jacko

If the images are really important, copy the files to a folder, zip them up and send
them to me and I will try to open them on a 98 machine.
remove "my" to reply.
