Waco Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 You can set up a virtual machine that will run it, albeit with a fairly hefty speed hit. It's likely that it'll run fine though since it's so old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psydotek Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) As long as it installs properly, you can right click -> properties on the application icon and change the compatibility settings to different Windows OS'es and try that out.

mattwalter85 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 this is going to sounds like a very stupid question but what exactly is a virtual machine and what are the benefits of having one or running one or w/e you call it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchalogamer Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Unless your using a 16-bit installer/app with a x64 OS version it should work, however there's only one way to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
