But I have used GAME BRIDGES to do this. And to add more insult, almost all that did support 98 required 98se.
As to Vista, I see little hope given no make, model and other details. For example Vista comes on DVD and many Windows 98 laptops had CDROM drives. No hope there.
But why run Windows on such hardware? I'd look again at UBUNTU for this one.

My computer crashed. Until I can afford to replace it, I have a really old laptop that runs on Windows 98 that I am thinking of trying to convert to wireless.
I have read that it can be hard to find a wireless card that is compatible with Windows 98, so my question is, can I upgrade my Windows version if I have a Windows Vista disc?
