Few queestions...

Okay, to start off with:

Is there any way I can run windows 98 apps on my 2K comp without installing win 98, or formatting and setting it up for duel boot?

Secondly:

I have a video file, and no players (I use a combintion of Zoomplayer, Winamp, Media Player basic and Media player 9) can play it. It's a .mpg, but when I load it up in Zoomplayer, it says it's either corrupt or I'm mising filters (Which I doubt.) and when I load it up in MP 9, it says it has an error downloading the codec. The movie is a fairly hard one to find (It's a subbed version of Battle Royale II) so re-downloading isin't really an option. Any ideas?

are the apps DOS games? easyest:
get vmware,
install win9x
???

2nd try mplayer ie mplayerhq.hu theres an win32 port (drag an drop the file on the mplayer.exe), if it wont work look in the file with an hex viewer if its really an mpg or maybe an wrong named avi/ogm/mkv for which you really need filters
