Using Windows '98 programs on XP

[Guest]

I was told that XP has a compatibility mode that allows
you to use Windows '98 programs. I can't find where to
change to that mode. Can anyone help me?

How to Troubleshoot Program Compatibility Issues in Windows XP

 

[Guest]

The only way I can find it is by doing a search for "compatability" in 'all files and folders'. Click on the search result and you will find it. Weird, isn't it

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Program Compatibility Wizard

You can an install file from a CD, manually locate a program to modify
compatibility settings for or have Windows XP build a list for you.

Most W98 programs will run just fine in XP, without doing anything. Which
programs are you having difficulty with?
