Default seeking compter tech help with bentley install

Just tried to install my old 80-90 Benltey cd on my laptop and it will not install! Running xp pro on a dell latitude. 2.1g/512mb and I get no response. I did remove the program from my desktop and re-installed it with no problems.
Any secrets?

Default You must seek the one they call...

Skolnick.

He's BTDT on the urS Bentley. He ended up stripping off SP2 IIRC. He was planning to try and isolate the patch that caused the issue, but I'm not sure if he got anywhere.

Default I have a hardrive....

with Windows 98, for just that reason. Older versions of the Bentley wont run on the newer operating systems. Its a problem with Internet Explorer...;O)

Default Actually...I have an older version of the Bentley CD on My machine...

Which is XP Pro, SP2 and I have no issues.
The trick is to install Netscape(Yeah, I know it sucks a$$ but it works)...you can install it from the Bently CD, when you want to use the manual, you close all IE windows, open Netscape, minimize Netscape, then open the Bentley Program...After Bentley is going, you can then open IE or Firefox and surf the net while the manual is open.
