My computer is not working and my kids computer only has Windows 98. The system requirements for PP3 said Windows 2000 or greater. Should I try regular Pampered Partner, or enter the show from my friends house?

Also, if I can use Pampered Partner on this computer (old one for the kids), will I have to transfer everything to my computer once it is fixed?
 
You can do a back up on the computer that you use and then when your computer is fixed you can restore from the back up that you made the shows that you entered on another computer.

I would use which ever computer is going to be the most convenient for you if you have to do this for a little while until your computer is fixed.
 
It would be best to enter the show from your friend's house in this situation. Using an outdated operating system like Windows 98 may cause issues or errors when trying to run Pampered Partner. Additionally, transferring all of your data from the kids' computer to your own once it is fixed could be a time-consuming and potentially complicated process. It would be simpler and more efficient to just enter the show from your friend's computer for now.
