I am running Win2kPro. This new computer game we got for
my son says it requires Win 98, ME, or XP. I tried
installing it with my current configuration of W2KPro with
SP2 and it installs fine and the games comes up like it is
ready to play and then it just quits all of a sudden - goes
back to Desktop .
Are there utilities or app's or tools or emulators that
will allow us to get this game running (and other games)
that require Win 98 or ME or XP? Without buying XP at the
moment?

Thank you very much for any insights.

Sincerely,
John H
