Genotyper and Windows 2000

[Miguel Angel González]

Dear Lynn Petukhova,

I have just see your question about Genotyper software and Windows XP in a
web forum. Could you say me how could you run Genotyper in Windows Xp
system, please?


Thank in advance,

Miguel Angel

Hi,
you can try KernelEx extension from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/files/ .
That is an evil thing to help you run Win2000/WinXP apps on Win98 or WinME
and I believe you can go the opposite direction. Just install the application,
right-click over the Genotyper program icon, go into Properties and select the
operating system mode under which it should be executed.
As I said, perfect way to run newer apps (like Firefox, some antivirus software)
on Win98/Me ... You have fast computer and all apps you need.
