Where can I find a Windows 98 Virtual Machine image?

This is a simple need. I want to run some old software which only runs on Windows 98. I tried going to VMWares site to see if they had a Windows 98 %26#039;Appliance%26#039; I could use for this. The only link they show points to some asian web site which doesn%26#039;t actually have such an image for download as you might expect. Does anyne know where to find such an image so I could basically emulate a windows 98 desktop in a VM host emulation window?

You may not necessarily need that.



Try the following:



-Locate the executable file on your PC and right click on it.



-Click on the Properties option.



-Click on the Compatibility tab.



-Click on the Run this program in compatibility mode for box



-Select Windows 98 in the drop down.



I did this once in the past for an old piece of software that I was trying to run on XP and it worked like a charm. Try doing that and see if it does not work for you.
