a friend of mine said that there was a win98 emulator in
winxp, so I could load some apps that are win98 only on my
xp pro OS. Anyone?
 
Win98 only. Like direct access to IO ports?
I don't think that there is Win98 emulator. (This program would probably be
some abomination)

But you should ask your question how to accomplish this in
microsoft.public.virtualpc

i think theres two different things that musky might be trying to
refer to, there the compotibility mode in XP that gives a slightly
better chance of running an old app, the properties tab of a shortcut
has a Compatibility tab. And theres a small app called port95 that
gives windows9x port access to apps in NT based flavours.

I've had some sucsess useing both of these on some VERY old apps under
XPp but have never tried to get either working under XPe.
