Win2k apps in XP Pro

[Frodo]

Hi,

Would like check if it is possible to run Win2K old application in XP. We
have many PCs at retail shops runnig POS system in Win2K Pro only and it
doesnt support XP, upgrade to newer POS is very very costly, thus, we are
trying to see if it is possible to make XP run the POS application in
backward compatibility mode?


Thanks in adv.

Since you haven't divulged the name of your POS application, no one
here can really answer your question. It may or may not be possible.
Why not try it on a test machine?
