OT: Windows Problem

I can't remember the procedure to make an executable think it's running under Win98 instead of Win2K.

I think you can get to the compatibility mode feature by right-clicking the file.

I did that, but there's no selection for emulation.

Your right, not under W2K. It's an XP thing.

If it is a DOS app, then DOSBox works flawlessly.

If it is a win32 app, I have yet to find one that won't run under W2k.

actually, i don't think W2k has the compatibility mode in it.. if your trying to run something that requires direct io access like what takes place in the 9x boxes, it won't happen in W2k.
