Installing Windows 98SE

Another point regarding Virual machines.. depending on what your wife wants to do with her win98 install, a virtual machine may or may not work. If she is looking to play games, VirtualPC and VMWare may not offer the greatest performance - and therefore not the greatest gaming platforms..
 
One important consideration before installing Virtual PC:
Host operating system: Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

XP Home is not supported.

Myself, I just run dual-boot 98SE and XP.
 
Hi Fitz

Thank you for your time..it is appreciated.

I am very impressed with the Virtual machine concept. I don't think it is any speed incentive for my Wife. She has got used to the DOS aspect of Windows 98 SE and she is comfortable with that OS.

However, I am reading your last links so I am going to be tied up for a while, and if it is OK with you, I would like to get back to you.

I want to find out more about this concept.

Thanks again.
Kindest regards

Hi American Zombie,

I too, have Win XP Pro. So the Virtual PC is no problem. I just wished I could dual boot XP and 98SE.


Kindest regards

No problem Marse.. I've done a lot of work in VMWare.. both Workstation and the GSX server version. Let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or help you with.

Any of the SP crew still out there?
