The question or predicament comes in with the operating systems that support it... As you can see in the bold, it is supported by Windows ME, 2000, and XP. I am currently running on an ancient 98SE.
Can I run this with 98SE? Is there anything I can download to allow me to use it with 98SE? Or will I have to just buy a new OS?
I am grateful for any suggestions, comments, advice, and answers. ^-^;;
