Maybe compatibility mode would be of help.

Subject: [pchelpers] XP
> Hello all..............yesterday I decided to fix my OE problem, you may
recall it was locking up when opening certain folders, so I decided with
nothing to do for that day, to format C and reinstall windows. First
however, I had Win XP lying around and waiting for an opportunity to try it.
> I did, installed it fine, not probs at all, I even liked the look of it
except for that awful desk top picture. However as I said, it all went fine
until I tried to install the last of my current programs, and ones that I
use quite a lot and they wouldn't install.
> Is there anyway around this, programs that will only run with 98, being
able to run with XP? I don't want to dual up OS's, my poor puter has enough
problems with all the other things I try to make it do from time to time.
Is it a case of sticking with 98 if I want to use the progs I have now, or
go out and buy again, the latest versions that should work with XP?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
