windows 98
Hello everybody,
Can anybody know if I can use windows 98 under windows 7 professional (64 bit)?
I still have some very old programs that do run under windows 98.
Can I create virtual PC under windows 7 professional (64 bit) ?
Can I install win 98 over that virtual PC?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Andre,
I understand that I can install 64 bit version of Virtual PC under my windows 7 operating system.
But, as far as I know windows 98 is not a 64 bit operating system. Isn't that correct?
I really do not want to have conflicts.
Will you please comment?
