Description

I currently have an application for Windows 95. Will it run on the SGI NT system?

Problem Resolution

Most 32-bit Windows 95 applications will run on NT, however, there are a few exceptions:

  • Programs that access hardware that does not have an NT driver; some video capture cards, for example.
  • Programs that depend on Windows 95 resources, such as DOS and Plug & Play.
  • Code that has been internationalized (i18n) may require modification. Windows 95 is typically unicode-based, whereas NT uses wide characters.
