Well if it runs under Win95 doesn't guarantee that it will work with Win98.
Win95 has a mixed 16 and 32-bit kernel and win98 has true 32-bit kernel so there are differences. To correct myself Win95 runs all 32-bit programs in system virtual machine and each 16-bit program in separate virtual machines, win98 runs everything in the system virtual machine and this can cause problems with 16-bit programs. Try apply the latest service pack or the newest upgrade, it will fix some problems with 16-bit programs.

>>Win98 is a 32-bit operation system, so you can't switch between 16 and 32-bit.
>>All 32-bit programs are run in the system virtual machine and the 16-bit programs are run in separate virtual machines. Some 16-bit programs don't run under Win98 Fat32 but will run under Win98 Fat16.
>>Is One-Write Win98 compatible? If it is it should be fine otherwise there can be problems specially with Fat32.
