You could use the XP compatability program wizard for older games. But some people dual boot win98 and xp then choose at start up to try xp

hmm...i've tried dual booting before and i dun find any prob

u should first install win98 then followed by winxp.

that way winxp can detect the existence of win98 hence can create the boot menu whenever u start ur comp

nice link, peat moss

In relation to PeatMosss statement
In xp right click on the shortcut of the program.exe or game,exe you want to play and clik
"compatibiltiy" - make compatible with....98

Hunter found this on a forum . QUOTE :
I didnt have a problem with RCT running on XP pro. It was just when I installed the Corkscrew Follies/Loopy Landscapes expansion when I started getting errors at startup. I went to the properties of rct.exe and set compatibility mode to 98/ME. Now it seems to work fine. Other than that I cant offer any suggestions

You should, but it can be done the other way..... i have done it a few times, see this site for a tutorial
