    I'm running a MacBook Core 2 duo with 2GB RAM and Parallels. My guest OS are WXP, W98, and DOS 6.22. I need the latter two because I run a lot of custom legacy software which won't run properly under WXP (and, I presume, Vista).

    Anyway, I was as happy as a clam with W98 under Parallels. But then I upgraded to P 3.0 and now my W98 runs very, very slowly. I did install Parallels tools on the W98 guest OS when I upgraded. I've tried everything I can think of, including manually enabling EMS, but I can't get W98 to run at an acceptable speed. As I said, it was working brilliantly under the older Parallels builds. I haven't changed a thing; just upgraded to 3.0 and now W98 won't run properly.

    Any ideas?
