Am I simply out of luck? Or is there some possible way I can get this to work? I'm very new to this forum (just joined 15 minutes ago), does anyone know if it's possible for me to get a free update to a version that I can use on this machine?
Could a virtual machine (VM) be set up to run software this old? I run some expensive 20-year old raster editing software written for Win NT 4.0 under the XP VM in Windows 7. Don't know what Windows 8 or 8.1 has for VM options.
isnt there a way to install win 95 as a dual boot partition so you can run win 95 or win 7 at boot toogle or maybe an external drive has win 95 and boot off cd with win 95 ...google Hirems tools disk ..
I was able to do this with xp and 95 in the old days...
other wise get an old pc from the Goodwill store , saint vinies or cash convertors or your . my garage pentium II still runs ( win 95 or xp era) and instal 95 and mstn 95 just on that machine..

Thanks Phil. The copy I have is a Home Use copy that I've been hanging onto for about 18 years. It was strictly for personal use for home projects (decks, plans to finish basement) and stuff like that, so I can't really justify purchasing SELECT support for something like that. I appreciate your fast response, though.

Uninstall Windows 7 and install Windows 95.
