It only supports DirectX apps that do not need direct access to the hardware, 
so high-end stuff is still not gonna work.  Netraverse is trying to compile a

Can't really help except to say I run 98SE on Win4Lin 5 and it's 
flawless.

If your windows is 98, forget it, I think M$ is not supporting it anymore.
