Right now my server has Windows 2000 Professional installed. However a lot of the old programs I had on Windows 98 SE don't work properly or don't work at all...... Not to mention with my cheap ass voodoo banshee (monster fusion) I can't get Open GL to work in windows 2000, which means no shooter type games (software and d3d SUCK).... Why did I bother with Windows 2000? Well first of all, it's my dad's computer, he got it free from his work..... and...... HE wants to learn how to use a NT based windows..... but he still wants to use some of the programs he used in Win98, so I suggested why not have a dual boot system... pick the OS you want to use depending on what programs u plan on using......
That's fine with him...... ok..... so...... how do I do it? Do I just install Windows ME like I would on a clean formatted disk? Then select the OS I want to use when it pops up (this is standard for Windows 2000 right?)... that part I think will be no problem..... But the part that confuses me, is what about the programs I want to use in both OS's??? Lets say for example, Adobe Photoshop..... If I want to use it in Win2000 and WinME do I have to install it in Win2000 AND WinME? Or is there a way to share the files between both OS's (doubt it)...... I mean can I use the same directory? Do I just reinstall photoshop in the same folder so that the shared files or required system files will be in the windows (whether win 2000 or win me) directory? Please help....... Thanx......
