Some specific programs may have trouble running in XP even thru compatibility modes - search the program website and forums for information regarding patches to help it work in XP... BTW, what is LOE 99?

  • you can install the 98 program as usuall in xp
  • Then go to the programs installation folder and search for its exe file
  • Rightclick on the exe file and select properties
  • select the compatibility tab in the properties
  • Here click on the "run this prog in compatibility mode for.." checkbox and select win98 in the dropdown menu
  • click apply and then try running it!!
  • if thiss does not work then try to search for an emulator for 98 on intenet
  • only as a last resort should u virtualize it!!
