Running win98 program on XP

[Mithrindal]

G'day all,

I am trying to load a music sheet program on my XP o/s without much success. It fails, saying the install requires Win98. Is there anything I can change/set to spoof the install into believing its on Win98 ?

Cheers.

Getting older programs to run on Windows XP.

Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. To run your program on Windows XP, try the following:

Run the Program Compatibility Wizard. As an alternative, you can set the compatibility properties manually.
Update your program, drivers, or hardware.


These options are covered in detail in the Help and Support program under "Getting older programs to run on Windows XP"
