I recently purchased Dance Studio from the now defunct Metacreations software studio. It was designed for windows 95/98, and will not run in compatiblity mode under xp (it crashes and gives a memory error.) Does anyone have this software, and had any luck running it on XP? my next step will have to dual boot back and forth between win98 and xp- really dont wanna do that.....

and before i get flamed, this particular program is relevant to Poser - I'm sure there are those out there that do have it. =)

ok, well, figured it out... if by any remote chance that someone has this issue with this particular program, i had to install Microsoft Virtual PC, install Windows 98 SE onto that, and then run it from there. Works perfectly now.

Oh cool. I didn't know Virtual PC existed. Thanks for the tip. Now maybe I can fire up some of my old DOS games again. Should be fun to reminisce if it works.

King's Quest III, here I come. I never did finish that one. :D
