Win 3.1 Prog under W2kProf

[aamcle]

I have an old language tutor (Linkword not supplied by current owners
of the name) that runs under W3.1/95+98 but will not even load under
W2Kprof.

One of the items on the MS site would suggest that:-

start /separate "setup"

were "setup" is the Linkword install program might cause it to install
and run. The program requires access to the sound card.

I would prefer not to duel boot but are there any other options?

A bit more research and it seems I need some sort of virtual machine VM
or Virtual PC?

Are there any good open source one's available? need to host win 98.

Thanks alan

From my memory, that Compatibility Mode was running
as correctly for Win 3.1 programs as for W9.x ones.
