Some specific programs may have trouble running in XP even thru compatibility modes - search the program website and forums for information regarding patches to help it work in XP... BTW, what is LOE 99?

• you can install the 98 program as usuall in xp
• Then go to the programs installation folder and search for its exe file
• Rightclick on the exe file and select properties
• select the compatibility tab in the properties
• Here click on the "run this prog in compatibility mode for.." checkbox and select win98 in the dropdown menu
• click apply and then try running it!!
• if thiss does not work then try to search for an emulator for 98 on intenet
• only as a last resort should u virtualize it!!
