Found my old Win 98 disk, how do I emulate it?

I doubt my setup will let me run win 98 as a secondary operating system, so would this Microsoft Virtual PC let me install and emulate it nicely? I can't find any other way of playing Silver on modern OSs - no tips or guides, seems to be quite the unsung hero.

Yup, Virtual PC is just the ticket. You can get the most recent version off the MS site.

I've got the 2007 downloading from that link, the otehr MS site I found said I can't get it with Win 7 home - have to have Enterprise or Business. I'll give this a shot, see how it goes.

Probably best not letting it connect to the Internet if you get it working.

if you have no luck with Virtual PC then VirtualBox should run it and it's a free download (from Suns site).
