Other than the compatibility issues, verify the kind of executable
this program is (DOS, Win32, etc). Changing from Win98 to WinXP is
like changing night and day. You are literally converting to a brand
new operating system, which means you need to be able to verify before
the change over that all your mission critical apps will work
properly.
If you have a DOS executable, there are options that can be undertaken
(post back!), but likely you'll have very little luck getting it to
run "straight-up" in Windows XP. Another question, do you have the
source to this program?
Please answer these questions and I can go from there on solutions.
