Freeware
Don't remember what the Win98 calculator was about but there are many freeware apps readily available. Are you somehow limited in your choices?

Sure you can. It's located in WIN98_44.CAB (or at least it is on my W98SE CD). Extract it and save to a suitable location. You can run it directly from the executable.
This shows the W7 version (on the left) with the W98 version on the right.

Thank you very much, Dwarf, for taking the time to help me, but so far when I look there, all I can find is a calculator help file. Maybe I can get my son on the job here soon. He will probably see what I am missing seeing.
The Windows 7 calculator is a beautiful thing, but I only use scientific notation and such once every 10-to-the-third years or so. To me the Windows 98 calculator makes a simpler visual statement for adding columns of figures and such.

Hi LorettaW,
On the View menu, you can change the windows 7 calculator to standard. This looks like the win 98 version.
Just type CALC in run to open it quickly.
Good luck
Tim
PS: Please note that the attached pictures are as an example only.. I took them on my 2008 Server as i'm not near my win7 box at the moment.

Which version of the W98 disk do you have? The executable might be in different locations according to the version. On mine, which is a W98SE, it is located in the above mentioned location. Yours might be different, especially if it is the original and not SE. You will need to browse the disk. The file you are looking for is calc.exe.

I don't know. But the OP wanted to know if it is possible to run the W98 version, so here it is, with the Windows 7 version on the left and the W98 one on the right. Look closely at the icons on the top left (just before the word Calculator), and you will see that the ones from the right-hand images are the icons used in W98, whereas the ones on the left-hand images are those from Windows 7. And yes, the W98 calculator DOES work.

Thank you for the info, Dwarf! I found it on my 98 hard drive and e-mailed it to myself.
It's just that I've used it for so long, it's kind of grown on me.
I wonder if my CorelDraw 8 might work on Windows 7. I really love that program!
Thanks so much again!

Update for XP calculator
You can run the XP version of the calculator without any problems on Windows 7. The files can be found in the i386 folder of a Windows XP disk. They are CALC.CH_, CALC.EX_, and CALC.HL_. Follow the instructions here http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/17103-pinball.html for details on how to extract, expand and rename these files.
The following images show the 3 different calculators simultaneously (Windows 7, Windows 98, and Windows XP). Notice the different icons on the top left.
