I've ben getting an error whenever I try to run a setup for a program that is meant to be ran on Window 95 or 98. I thought that, that problem was already patched but I was wrong. And I did run my windows compatibility but nothing worked. And, I don't see anything on Microsoft's update page. Is there some how I can get this problem fixed?

You maybe out of luck on that. I have seen several programs and games that no longer run on XP, but ran well on 98, this even after I changed to 98 on the compatability mode.

Dang it..

That sucks too because there is alot of great programs that run on 95 & 98. It would be good to see them run on the more up-to-date programs like XP and 200.

Same here I'm at SP2 and all software patches and updates are installed. Microsoft helps us outdate are equipment and software quickly, I guess old Bill forgets we spent alot of our hard earned money on this stuff.
