Hey there computer geniuses,

I have come by a rare CD that I need for my job. The problem is it was made in 1998 and I have a 2012 MacBook Pro. Therefore, I can't download the program due to compatibility.

One person suggested downloading Fusion VMWare or Parallel and then buying Windows 2000 online. But 1. I cannot find Windows 2000 to download online. And 2. Do you think this will work?

The disc does not specify if it will work for Mac systems. But I have seen it used on an older PC computer.

Thank you so much for helping a tech-illiterate girl out.
 
You should try running it on Windows XP, XP seems to run most anything that is a little older.
