Don't forget to do the same thing that people here advise when downgrading from Vista to XP: DRIVERS!

Make sure you get and save the Win98 drivers for all your hardware BEFORE you format and install Win98.

You will also need to try for any and all remaining updates at Windows Update.

Here's M$'s 98 page for info and troubleshooting: http://support.microsoft.com/ph/1139

Why not run these programs you speak of in compatibility mode, or via command prompt?

So far, I've had zero trouble with that.. but I use Vista Ultimate..

I still play Myst (the original, converted from floppy to CD) on my Vista box
