Ok, I know this is stupid, but I recently found the disc for Scrabble CE, one of my childhood win98 games. I installed it, then ran it and it said “This game is not supported on your operating system, please upgrade to Microsoft Windows98 Second Edition or later”

Is there a way to trick a program to make it think it’s running on Win98SE? The game does support NT4.0 and 2000, so I could use KernalEX as a last resort.

Help is appreciated!

could possibly hex edit the exe to remove the check by replacing it with zeros or something. good luck, or you could just upgrade to Second edition which is what I would do.
