new laptop with XP HE Pent 4 2.65 ghz. Will V-com Systym

You can always try running the program in compatibility mode (information on
which can be found here:

The other software you mentioned may help, or it may not, but I wouldn't
recommend messing around with them unless you really know what you're doing.
If you can't get the software to run on Windows XP, instead of setting up a
dual-boot with Windows 98, you may want to look at Microsoft Virtual PC or
VMWare Workstation. These programs will allow you to run another operating
system from inside Windows, without risking any damage to your system.

Hope that helps.
