Old Software
I have software that is about 12 years old. Was original made for win95. I have run it on pc's with 95/98 and me on them. Id like to lose to old clunker pc and run it off something that aint so old. More reliable.
I would like to run it on windows 7. But 2000/XP/7 all will not run it. I have tried the compatibility setting with nothing. I am wondering if I can run virtual desktop with win98 as the OS and get it to work. What do you guys suggest? |
I'm try the VM route, as you suggested. Virtual PC 2007 would be an easy way to test. Get a 98 CD or ISO, load that CD/image in VPC in a new VM, and install the OS.
|
actually you cant run VP2007 on windows 7. During setup it says its not compatible with windows 7!
|
If you can get VM to work on Windows 7, that'd be your best route.
|
VMware should work. Use that. Or even VirtualBox.
|
Well I was going to just install win98 on a new pc. I got it all installed and such just to find I wasted my time because the computer I used doesn't have a parallel port!! And this software requires a HASP on the parallel port. BAD LUCK!

Virtualbox + USB thingy.
|
Tried the usb adapter. Does not work on these HASP things. I am going to buy a Add-on Card that has parallel port on them.
