ooohh. You're awfully vague here. You could always burn the programs to a CD. Or run out to the store and get a USB storage drive. Or you could hook the laptop up to the other PC through a direct cable connection. An ethernet crossover cable? I don't know. I need details.

I like Ots Labs' turntables and CD Scratch programs. CD scratch, the free version, lets you record-scratch CDs, and the registered version lets you scratch MP3 and other sound files. The free versionj of Turntables lets you scratch files, and the paid version lets you scratch CDs. I installed them both. :wink: :twisted:

Most likely problem is that they are imcompatable. You cant really have programs that are for the XP or even 2000 versions of Windows and expect them to run. I'd say find a place that still offers WMP 6 or 7 and use that, dont know what version of the other two ran on 98.

All of those should run AFAIK. What error message is it giving you?
