Using 95/98 CD on Win XP

[Merriam]

Hello, I have a CD I need to use, but it's for WIN
95/98..is there a way to use it with Win XP? thanks

Cd's are not for one os or another. Cd's will work in any os. Do you mean
you have a program that was made for win98 and you wish to install and use
it on xp? If so, most likely it will work fine. Only way to tell is to try
it or check out the programs website for information or updates.

You didn't give us enough information to know.
Why not just try it? You won't break anything.
Check Win help for info re compatibility mode.

If that doesn't work go to the registry;
localmachine<software<microsoft<windowsnt<current version and then change
windows XP in 98 the installer should run then.

What is this CD? Data? Music? Software?

Assuming that your question is can you install a Windows
95/98-era program under Windows XP, the answer depends on what
program it is. Most will work, but not necessarily all. Post back
with the name of the program.

Or just try it. There's no risk; it will either work or not.
