if it doesent work normally, try and run the game in compatibility mode. i think its in the properties window when u right click on a shortcut or exe (i cant check at the mo as i only have linux on my laptop.)

Some 98 games even work on Vista. You shouldn't have issues -- if you do, use compatability mode.
