Re: dual boot up

The proper way would be to install 98 first and then XP; however it is possible to load 98 on an existing XP install if the c drive is formatted fat or fat32, not ntfs. There are instructions at DougKnox.com.
Just do a search for installing 98 after XP.

Re: dual boot up

If you mean the one I just posted I just checked it in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and it works fine for me. Perhaps a problem at your end?

Re: dual boot up

keep in mind that your computer might not work that well with Windows 98... That computer was "Designed for Windows XP"-- usually that translates to "Too lazy to make drivers for the other OSes"

Re: dual boot up

Keep in mind also that there's usually no need to have Windows 98 to get older games to work under Windows XP. You simply need to do a bit of research and find out how others have been able to make the games work. For C&C:
