Hmmm... I see. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it seems to me that you are
expecting to much of FS. The versions that were new at the time that 98 were
new work just fine correct? So would you expect 98 to run on a 286 machine?
Of course not, the machine is just to old. And unfortunately the same is
true for your situation. I will agree that it's a shame that the current
versions of Windows are so vastly different, but I don't see that as the
fault of FS. And yes they should have told you there may be problems before
you paid for the product. But did you just buy it or is it on an SMA that
was paid for a while ago?
Thanks; Gene
