Can anyone explain how I can load Windows '98 on the same computer I'm using
at the moment. I'm working with XP 'not the Pro. version'. I'm studying for
an ECDL qualification, and it's hard when i only use '98 one day a week. My
PC has a 120GB Hard drive and 540 of RAM. I have the '98 system disk and reg
details. I just don't wanna make any more mistakes. Crashing the PC is a
bummer and they tell me it's not much fun for the PC either. PLAIN ENGLISH
is a GOOD way to help ME UNDERSTAND, 'if ya no what I'm sayin', you no where
i'm comin' from....!!! THANK YOU..


I might be new to this new Hi-tech world of today, but i'm learning to
master it, at a mild pace. You only learn by asking and by asking, i'm
learning 'at my own pace'. A brave new world.
 
You may want to look at Virtual PC.
