That seemed to work.  I installed IE, java, and flash (all which the online 
course needs) in a Win98 bottle.  Switched it to Windows XP and then 
installed the two ActiveX plugins.  Switched it back to Windows 98 and they 
still work.  One has on OS check that doesn't allow the plugin to install, 
and it runs the check after the install as well.  It states the OS now as 
Windows 98 and the plugin looks to be working without any problems.

Thanks.
