i have a software programme made by lego that was designed to work on win 95/98.

it's a very small prog approx 1mb in size that produces barcodes that program
a lego truck.

when installed on an xp system it throws up a virtual memory error as soon as
you try and run it.

i would be willing to pay for a modified version that would work on an xp sytem assuming the cost was a sensible amount agreed before any work was done

Have you tried running the app in 'compatibility mode' ?

If you cant get that to work then there is another option

Download Virtual PC 2004, for free from Microsoft

Install Windows 98 in VPC and then run the lego software in that.

Its alot of work i know, but if it just wont work on 2K/XP then its probably your best option

Compatibility mode ususally works.
