    I know, I know w98 is too old a system. However Breakaway seems to install ok but once you click on the icon it does nothing.
    Please help!!!

    Due to the large amount of sponsored radio programas and promos already in that system I managed to keep my radio station running on W98 with a legacy radioautomation program and a generic PCI soundcard.
    The Player is WMP version 6.4. No internet connection etc.

    Due to weather storms I lost my Inovonics 255 TriBand processor. I need to run Breakaway in the W98 platform anyone has had any results? Any comments why it is not running?

    Hi Mocandino!

    Windows 98 is not supported. I’m using Windows APIs which simply do not exist in Windows 98 – there’s no chance it will run.

    However, any system fast enough to run Breakaway, will also support Windows 2000. Windows 2000 IS supported by Breakaway, so I would suggest upgrading to that.

    Please note, Windows 2000 is *not* Windows ME. They’re two different things. Windows 2000 is part of the NT family (just as XP is), but Windows 2000 is significantly faster, lighter and smaller than XP, and an order of magnitude more reliable than Windows 98.

    I would suggest installing Windows 2000 (Win2k) on the computer — that should take care of it.

    If your radio automation program absolutely must use Windows 98, perhaps you could run it in a Virtual Machine under Windows 2000 (VMWare or Microsoft VirtualPC).
