Hi guys:) I want to install Windows 98 onto my MacBook Air via VirtualBox. However my Windows 98 CD doesn't work when I try to make it into an ISO on another computer (MacBook Air doesn't have CD reader). I used ISOCreator on many different computers but it just never copies. Even if I were to copy it manually it wouldn't work either. Sometimes it just comes up with this 'CRS' error (I think that's how you spell it.) I don't want to just download any old ISO either. It probably won't work with my code.
(you know that serial code thingy mijigy). Is there any legal and safe way you guys can help me?
Thanks, Saif. Hi guys:) I want to install Windows 98 onto my MacBook Air via VirtualBox. However my Windows 98 CD doesn't work when I try to make it into an ISO on another computer (MacBook Air doesn't have CD reader). I used ISOCreator on many different computers but it just never copies.
Green certainly has. Scritti politti cupid and psyche 85 rar. It's all very black and white, bittersweet, the lyrics are a bit tortuous and smack of some form of angst or a challenge to his confidence and optimism.
Even if I were to copy it manually it wouldn't work either. Sometimes it just comes up with this 'CRS' error (I think that's how you spell it.) I don't want to just download any old ISO either. It probably won't work with my code. (you know that serial code thingy mijigy). Is there any legal and safe way you guys can help me? Thanks, Saif I had difficulties with VirtualBox and Windows 98SE. VMware player on the other hand worked well.: I created the.iso from the installation CD using ImgBurn.
Petr Dvorak, thank you very much for your help and for posting this blog. I can confirm what Andy said about VirtualBox. I am also using VirtualBox Personal End User License (PEUL). It does include the Guest Additions. Unfortunately, due to the license, many companies and large enterprises might prefer to use VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE), which does not seem to include the Guest Additions. Sun (acquired by Oracle) does not include binaries for VirtualBox PEUL.
I have found and tried the following two VirtualBox OSE Binaries (GNU GPL): VBox (Win 32-bit): OSEBox (Win 32-bit): Since these two binaries for VirtualBox OSE do not include the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO, I needed a way to download them independently. This is why I must thank Mr.
Everyone, enjoy VirtualBox, whether it's PEUL or OSE.
Windows Virtual PC only officially supports Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 as guest operating systems. Thankfully it has great compatibility and can run many operating systems that are not officially supported. I recently needed to setup a Windows 98 virtual machine for my wife – who has some genealogy software that will not even run on Windows XP. To do this I created a new virtual machine and configured it with 64mb of RAM and a 16GB virtual hard disk. I was then able to install Windows 98 with no real problems: Some things to be aware of when doing this:. I originally created the virtual machine with 128mb of RAM – but that caused problems for the setup program. Setting the memory to 64mb allowed the installation to go through successfully – and I was able to increase the memory after the operating system installation.
I happen to have a bootable Windows 98 installation CD – but most Windows 98 installation CDs are not bootable. If you have one of these – you need to use a boot floppy – which means you will need for attaching floppy disks to virtual machines. While I used a 16GB virtual hard disk – because that is all that I needed – I have tried this with disks up to 127GB in size and not seen any problems. After installation both networking and sound work correctly – but the video is kind of “sucky” and you need to capture / release the mouse whenever you use the virtual machine. Luckily you can address both of these issues by installing older virtual machine additions in the virtual machine.
Doing this will give you:. Better graphics. Integrated mouse functionality. Desktop resizing But you will not get:. Clipboard integration. Time synchronization. Shared Folders.
Printer / smart card sharing But how do you do this? The trick is to extract the old virtual machine additions out of a previous product. In my case I decided to get the virtual machine additions out of Virtual Server 2005 R2. To do this what you will need to do is:. Download.
Download the. Put both files in a temporary working directory (I used C: work). Rename the Virtual Server setup.exe to 1setup1.exe – This is needed to get around the Windows application compatibility check, which we do not care about as we will not be installing Virtual Server. Open a command prompt and change to your temporary working directory. Run: 1setup1.exe /c /t. Although the list of supported guest OS is very (too) limited (for example, I think windows 2000 should still be officially supported by the latest version), it's great Windows Virtual PC is actually able to run many other systems (like Windows 98). Just a question: because Windows 98 is unsupported for a long time, you warn users about the danger of use for network or web purposes.
It is just a virtual machine! If the host system – Windows 7 in that case – is properly protected (antivirus, firewall, ), why bother? There would be no infection from the virtual machine to the real machine and you can replace the files of virtual machine at any time.
Bezem / IL – I have not checked the exact version numbers – sorry. Jon / MikeB / Luciano – If you search this site you will find many posts talking about different operating systems on older versions of Virtual PC – most of which are still applicable to Windows Virtual PC. That said – I will add it to my list of 'blog posts to do' that I need to talk about this ? Big Monstro – You are correct that a compromised / infected virtual machine is no more of a danger to you than if you had a seperate physical computer running Windows 98 that was compromised / infected. But I do not want such a thing in my environment – virtual or physical. Is it possible to disable the integrated mouse functionnality without uninstalling virtual machine additions? It is easily feasible with Microsoft Virtual PC 2004/2007 but I cannot find this option on Windows Virtual PC. I've a virtual machine with Windows 98 for game purpose (especially to play with Age of Empires II, because there are compatibility issues on Windows 7) and I need to disable integrated mouse to properly play.
If I uninstall virtual machine additions, I uninstall the best driver for the virtual graphic card at the same time. How disable the integrated mouse functionnality with Virtual Machines Additions installed? Should I use VPC 2007 instead?
Thank you for your answers. Best regards.
Hi, I am trying to get win98 working as a guest on windows 7. I have been able to install the OS but when I tried to install the VM additions it couldn't find the various files for setting up the video, sound etc. It did release the cursor though.
I tried to reinstall the VMA but it didn't give me the option of refreshing just remove so I removed them thinking that I would be able to reinstall them but now when I go into the VMA wizard it only gives me the option to remove (they are already removed the cursor is captive). Next I decided to follow your instructions to extract VMA from an earlier version but although I followed your instructions to the letter on both the win7 host machine and also a borrowed laptop running winXP I can't get the command scripts to work. 1setup1.exe /c /t doesn't appear to do anything but 1setup1.exe starts to install the program. The other 2 scripts result in a 'windows cannot find start' message.
I am desparate to get this going as like your wife I desperately need to run genealogy software that will not run on win7. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? This Howto will bring you a few new Windows7 licenses – I know a company that run Win98 on all their (modern!) Office PCs because the main application is not ( With no trick ) Win 2k/XP ready. They skipped the upgrade to XP,to Vista and to 7 when they found out that Windows7 VPC/xpmode wont work for them too. And the desaster wether the CPU had VT or not was also not helpful. Now – with THIS tutorial and the updated VPC package and SP1 for Win7 I will tell the manager: 'Yes you can now'.
Unsupported, I know. But I promise he wont ring Microsofts hotline. Only mine ? Thank You, Ben Armstrong. 'Step 10: You can delete all the other files now': Good to know, but don't do this immediately. There is a precompact.iso that should work for Windows 2000 – unlike the Windows 7 VPC precompact.iso. There is a CHM file explaining the VM API, in essence the same as what you find for VPC on technet, but I prefer CHM files for offline use.
E.g., it's perfectly simple to twist Ben's floppydrive.vbs into a similar cddvd.vbs if you just replace 'floppydrives' by 'DVDROMdrives' (plus one other modification) based on info in this CHM – all you need for this 'programming' is a text editor. Hi, i followed the steps you listed above to increase the video card memory, but when i used the code in the prompt windows, the files that were on my work directory seemed to not be affected by the commands written in prompt even if there were no error messages after typin enter.
So i was non able to extract the content of the setup.exe file. I tried to use winrar to extract the files but i received a 'damaged archive' error message even if the setup file is not damaged, in fact if I double click on it it starts without problems Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advice. Just thought I'd contribute a little- I also found this tutorial helpful, but an easier method is: download a program such as virtual box/virtual pc or whatever, and choose to run an existing VMC. At this point you will be given the option to browse your computer and select a.vmc file for loading. You can find a premade VMC with windows 98 installed readily available for downloading on the internet- I am including one example link, though it is not hard to find.vmc files on a file-sharing site. Hope this helps.
Windows 98 Virtualbox Display Driver
Cnelson 'how do I get files from the virtual machine back to my physical machine?' Benjamin suggested a way with a private network (to Stuart). There is another way, and that involves using a Win XP VM as an intermediary, since it can 'see' the physical machines' hard drive(s). It can also see other virtual hard drives if you add them. With the XP VM.shut down., you go the the XP.vcmx file C:UsersmeTheUserVirtual Machines (Where 'meTheUser' is replaced by the user log in you are using on Win 7.) 2. Right click 'settings' on that.vcmx file 3. Click down to 'Hard Disk 2', supposing that you have not already added that.
![]()
('Hard disk 3' is there too, if you need it.) 4. Now, in the right-hand panel, you click the button for 'Virtual Hard Disk' and point to your Win 98.vhd file. Richard bandler mp3 free download. Mine, for example, is: C:UsersgwhiteAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Virtual PCVirtual Machinesw98se.vhd Your Win XP VM can now 'see' your Win 98 VHD. Make sure your Win 98 VM is shut down.
Start up your Win XP VM. Once it is started, you should be able to find the Win 98 hard drive.
Since the XP VM can see both the Win 98 VHD and your physical Win 7 hard drives, you can literally copy files between them. Note: You cannot have both VM's running at the same time to see the same VHD. There is no true sharing with this method.

Use Sci-Tech Display Doctor version 7 beta. Major Geeks has it. Go to the Sci-Tech website and access their discontinued downloads where you'll be able to download the product keys for the older versions. They're giving them away.
Perfectly legal. I've read that the same key for the last version 6 that they offer can also be used successfully on the 7 beta. You install the version 7 beta, restart Windows, and in Device Manager update the standard pci graphics adapter (VGA) to the Sci-Tech one in the list that appears when you choose to install a different driver and scroll through the Display Adapters to the Sci-Tech Corporation drivers.
Reboot again, open up the Sci-tech control panel and you can even use 1024x768 Hi-Color! The other trick is using the latest Realtek AC97 Audio drivers, the Windows 95 VXD version, and update your Multimedia Audio Controller to it. Stuff like this is on the VirtualBox forums. I'm going to try this eventually on Debian Lenny, as the only Windows I'd want to virtualize is Windows 98SE. I've got a real drive with Vista on it (by choice, really!) I've got XP Pro, and used to do a dual-boot 98SE and XP, but figured I might as well have the latest Windows since I bought it.
I actually use the Vista boot loader and BCDEasy to boot grub that is on my 2nd hard drive's Linux partition where Debian is. I wanted to keep the Vista boot loader so I can muck about with Windows all I want without Grub being effected.
Let Windows destroy things. I'd just move Grub into the mbr if necessary.
I want 98 so I can use a few programs that haven't worked on XP since they went to Service Pack 2 and of course won't work on Vista, and not on Wine or Dosbox either. Stupid things like Star Trek Captains Chair that don't need Direct 3D but won't run on newer Windows versions. Don't need them, but they're fun as is playing with virtual machine operating systems. Edit - Oh, forgot to mention that less video memory allocation is actually better on VirtualBox. It defaults to 8MB, but changing it to 7MB has eliminated some problems for some folks.
You certainly don't need more than that for what VirtualBox supports for Video anyway. You won't be playing any Direct 3D games! Use Sci-Tech Display Doctor version 7 beta.
Major Geeks has it. Go to the Sci-Tech website and access their discontinued downloads where you'll be able to download the product keys for the older versions. They're giving them away. I have just completed installing Win98SE as a virtual system in ubuntu 7.10 and I got stuck with a crappy 640x480x16 color screen and was hoping your solution may work. I was able to download the Display Doctor 7 beta exe, but I'm having NO LUCK finding anything about keys at the Sci-Tech website.
Any suggestions? Sorry, what is that for??
From the manual; 9.5 Custom VESA resolutions Apart from the standard VESA resolutions, the VirtualBox VESA BIOS allows you to add up to 16 custom video modes which will be reported to the guest operating system. When using Windows guests with the VirtualBox Guest Additions, a custom graphics driver will be used instead of the fallback VESA solution so this information does not apply. Additional video modes can be configured for each VM using the extra data facility. The extra data key is called CustomVideoMode with x being a number from 1 to 16. Please note that modes will be read from 1 until either the following number is not defined or 16 is reached.
The following example adds a video mode that corresponds to the native display resolution of many notebook computers: VBoxManage setextradata 'Windows XP' 'CustomVideoMode1' '1400x1050x16' Basically, you are in VESA mode because you don't have the proper drivers, this command allows you to config the VESA 'fallback'. Heh heh, I even got software 3D working by turning on SciTech Display Doctor's GLDirect thing in compatibility (CAD) mode. It was fun doing the samples and seeing glxgears, airplanes flying, etc, on Windows 98SE. It was slow, but familiar as my first computer was a SiS5598 machine with onboard 4MB software Direct3D and was about this same speed. You know those sites that Windows users are forced to use all the time to get stuff to 'generate' 'unlocking' things for old software no longer sold, and even new software for poor folks? That's where you need to search for the SciTech Display Doctor 7 beta thingy to use it more than 21 days. Hint: Personal (type in your name), 1 (weird question, but I typed 1 and it continued), Pro.
If you get it you'll understand. Mine had no nasties embedded, but be careful out there!
Only works on your Windows guest. He he, I tried it with Wine but had to end the process as it couldn't open the dosbox display to use it.
I did the whole Unofficial Auto-Patcher for Windows 98SE. 98SE2ME, and 98MP10 installations and have a fully updated and ready to have fun with Windows 98SE. For some reason my Windows 98 Startup floppy couldn't load the cdrom drivers and it froze there, but I substituted an OEM 98 Gold cdrom I had and installed from that fine. Then I used my 98SE Updates Cd (that $20 thing that upgrades 98 Gold to 98SE from a booted up GUI only), and upgraded to Second Edition. I used SciTech for the 1024x768 res, software 3D, and used Realtek's latest Windows 95 VXD driver download extracted with WinRAR and Device Manager updated the Audio Controller to it.
Realtek's setup exe doesn't continue on anything but Windows 95 but extracting it gives you the whole thing to direct Device Manager to. You even get SoundBlaster MS-DOS within Windows sound drivers and a Wavetable midi driver (though midi skips). I haven't installed Rain20 yet that the Virtualbox user faq recommends to handle processor load, but I'll try that soon. Maybe it'll help speed it up a bit.
I'll print out that VGA information posted here. Maybe that would help too, but since I already use the SciTech driver I probably already have that fixed through just using their driver. Not sure though. It works so I don't want to fiddle too much with the configuration.
It's kind of too slow to really enjoy. Rain20 perhaps saves my processor from running at 100%, but didn't speed up anything. I tried to up the video ram to 16MB from the 6MB I was using but haven't notice any difference from that either. I fed it 256MB memory right from the start, so that should be fine.
Internet Explorer runs at a snails pace loading web pages, and some streaming Windows Media Player embedded videos were very herky jerky, although sounding fine in between the skips. I played the pinball game (I get that as part of 98SE2ME) and it correctly received and executed my keyboard entries correctly in real-time, so that's not too bad, but I did need to shoot the ball from the menu as the space bar caused a weird sound to play and didn't execute the plunger. Activating the midi music played it nicely with just slight skipping unless I went and actually played the game at the same time. Then it would just hesitate too much to make gameplay possible. So I turned that off.
(I like that song while playing though!) Even Windows Explorer isn't all that snappy, but better than browsing the web. One main thing I like to have 98SE around for is Star Trek Captains Chair. That uses QuickTime and Shockwave. Good luck with that, eh? Flash advertisements work fine in Internet Explorer and the latest Shockwave is installed and working on the Adobe test page, but I just don't see an audio-video intensive application running smoothly based upon what I've tested so far.
Gotta install a few more things before testing that out but I'm not optimistic. I added Avast to have its protection and it really isn't any slower because of it. I haven't added a firewall since with NAT networking the Linux firewall does that. I recall using VMWare Workstation 5.5 a while back, running a 98SE guest on a Windows XP host and the thing was pretty snappy. It effectively ran videos, games (not 3D of course) very well.
Browsing the web was fine in IE or Firefox. I haven't even gotten to Firefox yet, but that is even more memory intensive than IE, so again I don't foresee a good experience. I have no idea whether the slowness is due to Virtualbox running an unsupported Windows or due to this being done on Linux rather than a Windows host. I'd think Windows would slow it down more. But I don't see how the Guest Additions would be any speedier than this since I'd really only be getting a video driver and SciTech Display Doctor takes care of that essentially the same way, I think. I'd be interested to hear anyone's experience with 98SE in Virtualbox on Linux regarding running it and getting acceptable performance. This thing is just too slow.
Specs are an AthlonXP 3200+, Crucial 2x512MB PC3200 DDR-SDRAM, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, Audigy 2 ZS Platinum on an Epox EP-8KRAIPRO board. Maybe a newer generation motherboard, processor, memory would make the diffference?
Or is it just Virtualbox? I have no problems running Dosbox on Linux, or several programs using Wine.
Plenty of speed. Hi there, i'm trying to find the 'Display Doctor 7 beta' but with no success. If you go to virtualbox's web site and poke around, you find this: At the bottom of the page is this paragraph: Poor graphical output in Windows 98. Unlike more modern systems, Windows 98 does not come with a driver which will work with the VirtualBox graphics card, so it falls back to using it as a 16 color VGA card. While innotek do not provide Guest Additions for Windows 98, the Display Doctor suite by the company SciTech does contain a driver which will allow you to use higher color and resolution graphics modes.
Please note that neither innotek nor SciTech support nor accept liability for the use of this program. You can download the installation program for Display Doctor here and the activation codes here. Of course, that link is for 6.53. And the other links gives you registration codes for it. I forget what version I downloaded.I think I found 7.3.4.000 somewhere. Just by searching in google. If you're absolutely stuck I'm sure I could get you a web url to download it with.
What's the trick here? I can't get the reg codes mentioned from the previous post to work with the 7 beta download (link in the previous post). Anyone else get them to work? I tried the 'windows and dos' codes for version 6.53 and version 5.3a, neither worked with the version 7 beta, as was mentioned on the first page of this thread. So I downloaded version 6.53, and it won't recognize the virtual box graphics adapter. I'm using a win98 SE guest OS on linux SciTech UNIVBE 6.7 Supports DOS.
No Code Required SciTech Display Doctor 6.53 Supports: Windows and DOS. Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-173D626E-02002 Full Name: 6.x Free Edition SciTech Display Doctor 6.53-d DOS ONLY Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-173D626E-02002 Full Name: 6.x Free Edition SciTech Display Doctor 5.3a Supports: Windows and DOS.

Well, Windows 98 is some real sh.t which uses MS-DOS for most common things. That MS-DOS layer is emulated with the 16bit virtual mode manager in x86, but, as one process cannot be both run 32bit AND under 16bit VMM, all 16-bit code must be emulated which causes the system to go really slow. The system was faster when i installed unofficial service pack v2.1a. If you look for a not too slow system, think about Win95 OSR2 (it is actually faster than Win98SE on my system).
Think also disabling ACPI, IO-APIC or any high-tech thing that Win98 have hard time to support. Finally, make sure you install 32-bit drivers. 16bit drivers in Windows 98 are common but painfully slow. Heh heh, I even got software 3D working by turning on SciTech Display Doctor's GLDirect thing in compatibility (CAD) mode. It was fun doing the samples and seeing glxgears, airplanes flying, etc, on Windows 98SE. It was slow, but familiar as my first computer was a SiS5598 machine with onboard 4MB software Direct3D and was about this same speed.

I am struggling to get sound on Windows 98 in VirtualBox! You know, I honestly didn't want to use Microsoft's VirtualPC 2007 to run Windows 98, but I was forced to. I tried it in VirtualBox, but I couldn't get the Display Doctor 7 driver to work, nor the VESA drivers they listed on that Geocities page. The VM would just hang on startup, and never go into Windows.
To make matters worse the CPU load was always fairly high, even with RAIN 2.0. It works great with VirtualPC though, as one would expect. It works about the same as Ubuntu or Debian work under VirtualBox with a Windows host OS - Great! All the drivers work right out of the box, and there are guest tools as well.

I would be interested to see if it is possible to run VirtualPC on Wine. Has anyone tried this??? I was trying to set up a MyEnTunnel solution, because AutoSSh wasn't accomplishing my goals (remote ports stay open?): http://freshme.at/index.php?page=articles&op=readArticle&id=8&title=Cant-access-remote-desktop-via-SSh-remote-port-Use-a-Windows-98-VM. Came across this thread when looking for a way to get 16 colours on guest Windows95 in VirtualBox under Ubuntu Hardy.
Is Display Doctor still the recommendation for this? SVGA resolution 800x600 without Display Doctor I have managed to get SVGA 800x600 rather than 600x480 which was all the VM originally offered. When searching the net for a solution I came across (as at 14 May 2009) which gave me the vital clue, although I was not able to follow the instructions to the letter in the VM. The essence is to run (in DOS mode on the guest) Extract Win9504.cab xx framebuf.drv /L c: windows system where xx points to where the cab file is (perhaps on the Windows95 installation CD). This then opens up SVGA as an option in the Control Panel to allow 800x600.
I am using VirtualBox 4.3.12 on my macbook pro running OS 10.9.3 and trying to create a virtual machine from a Windows 98 SE ISO file I have, which is apparently bootable. Here are the settings I used: -system- Base Memory: 512MB Boot order: CD/DVD, Hard Disk -display- Video Memory: 64MB Acceleration: 2D video, 3D -Storage- Controller: Floppy Floppy Device 0: Empty Controller: IDE IDE Primary Master: Windows 98 SE.vdi (Normal, 2.00GB) IDE Secondary Master: CD/DVD windows98se.iso (625.23 mb) The rest of the settings are the default settings When I start the vm, it gives me the option to boot from a hard disk or boot from a cd-rom If I choose boot from hard disk, It goes to a blank screen and stays there.
Installing Windows 98 On Virtualbox
If I choose boot from cd-rom, it takes me to another menu which looks like this: Regardless of what I choose at that menu, it just stays there, and doesn't do anything How can I get it to operate proerly?
