I doubt this will be possible. Laptops are notorious for requiring special
support in Windows, and one MVP actually managed to damage his laptop by running a non-approved version of Windows on it. Have you tried the various compatibility modes in Windows XP and/or asking for help in an XP forum? -- Richard G.

Hi,
How about making the existing PC dual-bootable, with Windows 98SE as the second OS? PowerQuest Partition Magic will let you do that safely. Regards, Philip "todd l" wrote in message ...

True - I keep forgetting that's a free option now. :-)
