But XP will no longer receive upgrades and tech support in a couple of months. I just replaced my Win 98 computer in shipping with my old XP, upgraded to Win 7 and scrubbed of all its data. It’s a lot faster and (hopefully) stable.

I’m still using a Win98 laptop for payroll. I have to figure out a solution there because my payroll software is no longer supported.

Except for payroll, we are operating on a 100% Win 7 platform now.

You might try compatibility mode in windows 7. I’ve gotten some win 98 programs to run by having windows 7 run in in a win 98 special compatibility environment. You try to install the software and it will say that it is imcompatible...but it will ask you if you want windows to try differing compatibility modes or you can specify win 98 compatibility. It might work for you.
