W95, W98, NT OS Switcher Appz. for W2K ...
This is a discussion about W95, W98, NT OS Switcher Appz. for W2K ... in the Windows Software category; I've read about a software that makes applications and programs believe that they are running under another OS (w95, w98, nt - u actually choose the OS) while being in W2K. According to the infos, it's said to improve the compatibility of W2K with W95-98 intended programs.
I've read about a software that makes applications and programs "believe" that they are running under another OS (w95, w98, nt - u actually choose the OS) while being in W2K. According to the infos, it's said to improve the compatibility of W2K with W95-98 intended programs... Can anyone confirm that? Or, if someone is using it, how well does it work?
Thanks!

you´re right, there is a program called "APCOMPAT.EXE" located in the "Tools" subdirectory of your Win2k cd. Doesn´t work with anything I tried thou
Dreck, hätte das ganze ja auch einfach in deutsch schreiben können

Actually, I was talking about a third party software...
Vmware perhaps?

Thanks DosFreak for the link. VMWare looks quite interesting... but that's not it (still i've downloaded it to test it out hehe ). The Vmware is a program to call out another OS as for the one I was talking about is rather a "OS liar": it tells the CPU (or whatever that controls the system) that it is using a certain OS (i.e. W98, even thought W98 is not intalled on ur PC) while running the real OS (NT, 2000, Linux, etc.) That's quite a pretty advantage for W2Y user like me for I wont need to install 2 OS on my PC (save space, time and not to mention having to worry about softwares'compatibility with my comp).
I guess that I'll have to look up all the MB that I've visited to find this stupid link. Keep u guys informed if I come to find it.
The search goes on...
