Dual Booting Beneficial?

bcrew1375 · December 3rd, 2003

I used some old programs on my Windows 98/SE comp that Windows XP doesn't like. Would it be beneficial to make 2 partitions?

BTW, if anyone has XP, please try this program and tell me the results: http://www.multimediaware.com/qv/

hmmmm you coukd always use compatibilitymode (works like a charm for me

)

bcrew1375 · December 3rd, 2003

I've tried compatibility mode, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a complete piece of trash. I don't think MS spent enough time on it.

hmmmmm then a dual boot could be helpful, though it could be kind of tough to install win98 after you installed winxp....

....it's a DOS app. XP isn't on top of DOS like 9x/ME are. Asides.... why do you want to run this app?

bcrew1375 · December 3rd, 2003

You mean the one app I linked? Because it has features that I can't find in a Windows program. Like frame by frame video viewing and sequential image viewing.

**Kane** · December 3rd, 2003

Frame by frame? Like in VirtualDub?

besides if you already have XP its gonna be impossible for you to dual boot 98. 98 needs to be first.

OT: kane what does your title say? (under Kane-Sama)

Ah, just noticed; Media Player Classic also has the whole single frame advance thing.

It says 'Meri Kurisumasu! Mugi mugi'

So it does. Thanks Kane. I liked that program, but I guess I'll have to learn to get by without it(at least on my notebook

).

Wasn't that the media player that used code stolen from MPlayer? I can't remember...

I think there is a way, try installing Win98 and then repair with WinXP CD.

**Kane** · December 4th, 2003

Yeah, but what's the point just for a media player app which there are multiple alternatives to.
