If so, have you had any problems or does it run just fine?

It will probably run better on '98 with less system overhead.

I did, but ended up downgrading to Windows 95 because it took less RAM.

Default I wish I had an old laptop to run 95 on. I still have an old copy of Office 95 too, would be nice
to load up Excel only.

If I were to upgrade to XP in the near future, will the same software work?

Yes, but you'll probably have to deactivate and reactivate VAG-COM. It's not a big deal.

Default Thanks Disco, I'm ordering my Vag-Com right now :-)
I finally decided that I should have my own instead of stealing Porky the Pig's on a regular basis :-p

It works fine for me. I'm running Vag-Com 303-1 using a serial port in an old Dell Latitude laptop with a pentium MMX, 166 MHz.
