How to get VirtualBox video driver working in Windows 10 build 10041 For testing purposes I always have a VirtualBox machine with the latest Windows 10 build. I installed Windows 10 build 10041 and faced an issue that the VirtualBox video driver did not work in it. Then follow the steps below to install Windows 98 in VirtualBox on Windows 10. Run the Oracle VM VirtualBox program and click the New button to create a new virtual machine for Windows 98. Type the virtual machine name and select the operating system version. Then click the Next button to continue.
Since this is now became a common request by many, I decided to write a tutorial about Windows 9x (95/98/98SE/Me) usage on VirtualBox.Forenote: Windows 9x is not officially supported by VirtualBox team, which means, that it lacks Guest VM Additions, and it runs slowly, because VirtualBox is not optimized to run Win 9x.1. Installation - I won't cover here in detail, except few points.Most CD-ROMs available for Windows 95/98 are not bootable, which means, that you must boot from DOS floppy, install DOS first and only then install Windows 95/98.It does require DOS skills.Official bootable CD media is starting from 98SE. So if you're newbie, you should use Windows 98 SE bootable CD.Additionally I strongly suggest to limit system RAM to 512 MB for those OSes. Otherwise it will crash.

Video driver integration.By default Windows 98 will run only in 640x480 resolution, 16-colors.Performance Note: VirtualBox is not optimized for 16-colors (4-bit) emulation. It works very slow this way.Having 32-bit True Color driver makes Win98 VMs run on VirtualBox.much. faster.If you want True color or high resolution, you need to download special drivers.3.1. Bearwindows driver (unstable)NOTE: You must install 'Universal version' (2nd link), as the 'VirtualBox' version is known to have problems.WARNING: This driver is buggy, and many Windows fonts do not render correctly with it.
Not recommended.3.2. SciTech Display Doctor (recommended)The second option is to get the SciTech Display Doctor version 7 beta driver (12 MB) -(contributed by RichardS)-or-The driver is a high quality commercial grade video driver (even includes some software emulated Open GL 3D support), and it does include an exe installer program.Despite having an installer, the SciTech Display Doctor is a little tricky to get going.
After the program launches, you have to find the little round radio button link to click to 'enable' the new driver (otherwise you still have VGA). Even then, you can't select any higher resolution modes until you ditch the 'default monitor' and select one of the 'Super VGA' types.After fiddling around with the above changes and rebooting several times you should be able to select 800x600 or 1024x768 (or higher) resolutions with 32 bit color depth. (setting 32 bit color mode optimizes the interface with Virtualbox and really speeds things up)4. NetworkEasiest thing, is to setup VirtualBox to NAT, and AMD PCnet-II network chip. It will be auto-detected by Win 9x.5.

Shared FoldersSince VirtualBox shared folders won't work, there are other ways, such as SMB/Windows File Sharing. Recommended for Windows hosts.(Tested with VBox 2.1.2.- and was successful with 'bridged' network. I had no success with NAT.)WARNING: I admit that with VirtualBox the network is very unstable, presumably due to very slow performance of Win 9x guests under VBox.For Unix hosts, WinSCP is recommended.Another way of read-only file sharing is to create a virtual CD-ROM.iso file on the host and insert it into the guest VM.7.
Clipboard HostGuest(contributed by stefan.becker)Clipboard integrated in VirtualBox only works with the Guest Additions, so not for Windows9x. But there is another solution: Clipboard over TCP/IP.A Solution tested successfull with Linux Host is ShareClip:-TechnologovWritten on 2.9.2008, updated on.Please discuss this tutorialThis topic is only for additions to this tutorial. Do not ask questions about how to get something working.
Use a separate topic for that. Avoid 100% CPU loadWin9x is using an idle loop instead of HLT: the loop lets the host CPU running the Win9x virtual machine consume 100% all the time. This only applies to DOS and DOS based Win (3.x, 95/98/ME) - NT based Windows and all other operating systems are not affectedInstall rain, waterfall or cpuidle in the Win9x guest - my preference is rain as it only does what is needed -replace the idle loop with HLT execution- and nothing morehere is a link explaining something about, related to real hardwared/l rain from here: Volunteer Posts: 1699 Joined: 13.

Start system control/display, chosse the settings/advanced/vga-card, change the vga-card and choose option to show drivers in a directory, there choose manually the directory where you unzipped the driver.Another hint: With the bearwindows drivers you cant start the comamnd line direct on the desktop. So search all '.PIF' Files in the guest and change the settings to fullscreen (screen/appearence, Bildschirm/Darstellung).
Universal Mass Storage Drivers for Windows 98.As you may know, Win98 did not have generic support for USB mass storage devices (thumb drives, external mechanical drives, digital cameras etc). You needed a specific driver for each device, and of course those have become hard to find! However someone has just posted a link to a site offering generic USB mass storage drivers.The site offers free generic USB mass storage drivers for both Win98 and Win98SE. Drivers for the former require you to install a big service pack first. Drivers for the latter are quite small. I have not yet tried either myself, I just thought it would be good to preserve the links here.Edit I have now tried the latter Win98SE driver, and it seemed to work well for me after I followed the instructions given in the linked page.
Specifically I had to, before installing the new drivers, first make sure USB and USB 2.0 was enabled in the VM settings, then boot the guest, go into Win98SE device manager and basically remove any USB device I could find, particularly including old custom memory stick drivers (not a problem on a new Win98SE install inside a VM), plus the original Win98 USB controller and USB root hub drivers, plus any unknown device in case that too was USB related. Then install the new USB drivers, then reboot. After that I had no problem with reading from a modern USB flash drive - though of course the drive has to be FAT formatted since Win98SE doesn't understand NTFS.

Solving Windows 95 'Protection Error' on boot.Windows 95 was not designed for the speed of modern processors, and if the processor is too fast then it may crash on boot. Some users on the internet have developed a patch to fix the problem, and their fix is discussed in several places on the Internet (search for 'Win95 fast cpu fix'), for example here.The patch itself is too big to attach directly here, but here is a direct download link for it:The download includes a readme with instructions on a couple of ways to apply the patch.Thanks to user 'pt58' for drawing my attention to this fix.

Virtualbox Windows 98 Network Drivers Windows 7
It’s been much longer between my posts than I’d like. We had a re-org at work a little while back and now I’m up for another position that I’m waiting to hear on. It’s like a desktop administrator position but more.I have a bit of a nostalgia bug and I found my old copy of Windows 95 a while back. I’ve been wanting to install it in a VM so I could play around with it again and remember old times. I made an ISO from it, mounted it, and attempted an installation. I forgot back then that CD’s weren’t bootable and I didn’t still have the boot disk. I do, however, still have my old Win98 boot disk.
I think it has corrupted, however. It wouldn’t matter tho, I don’t think, as I only have an external floppy drive and the software back then didn’t support USB!So I looked on the net and found some boot disk images.
I also did a quick google search to see how complicated it was for other folks. There sure are a lot of folks that had a lot of problems! I found it to be farely simple, to be honest. I did get a few tidbits of info that helped me along in my adventure to figure it out.
I’ll have several links at the end of the post. But here’s how I did it:I’m running VirtualBox 4.1.2 r73507 on Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bitI have Windows 95 “A” (although the boot disk I found will work for either, I believe)Boot Disk and Installation CD. If you don’t have the original boot floppy you’ll need to get a copy of the boot disk image from:.
Make an ISO of your Win95 CD and save it somewhere. You can mount this directly in VirtualBox which is nice. If you don’t want to do it that way, you can make another virtual drive and mount it in MagicDisc (another free app). An alternative is to create a single ISO that includes the boot disk and Win 95. I’ve outlined that below, or you can skip to step 4.
You can also burn both the boot disk and the Win 95 files to the same disc (but this as issues) to make one, bootable CD!. To do this in ImgBurn launch the program and select “Write files/folders to Disk”. On the window that comes up, the left space is where you add the folders and files (don’t forget both, they are separate icons) from the Win 95 CD.
The icons are have magnifying glasses over a sheet of paper and one over a folder. I added the files and then each of the folders individually so that they will be at the root of the file structure.
Also add the program xcopy!. Click on the “Advanced” tab on the left and then on “Bootable Disc” below that. Check the box “Make Image Bootable”. Emulation Type: Floppy Disk 1.44MB. Boot Image: add the.img file you downloaded from above.
That should be it for your discs. I highly recommend having two ISO’s and just mounting them in VB, but hopefully the steps above will help you if for some reason you can’t do thatVirtualBox Setup. Started off by creating a new 5GB VDI Hard disk and making it Windows 95. I configured mine to use 512MB of RAM.
BEFORE LAUNCHING THE NEW DISK you need to change some configuration. Right click on the new VDI in your list and go to Settings. Select System on the left and you can configure your RAM size if you didn’t already. Thank you very much! This information helped me and the company where i work alot! We have some control units with technical problems for a hydroelectric plant in Colombia. And the only way to recover them is through windows 95, this tutorial was really helpful.
For the record i had two problem, first the same problem of bonezore, but i solved it with your reply and second was that i couldnt find the install file inside the C druve after i coppied it, problem was i had put it in 2 win95 folders, the root was win95/win95 hehe but i solved it. After you create the VM (and with it shutdown) you want to right click it from the VM Manager, go to Settings, and then the Storage tab.

Select the “Controller: IDE Controller” line and then click the disk with the plus sign to add a CD/DVD. Select Choose Disk and then browse to the ISO file. It should then be highlighted automatically and on the right side, under attributes, change the drop down.
If it’s not an option in the dropdown, that means one of the other disks/drives in your storage tree is already set to primary slave, you need to find it and change it to something else. Just like on a physical PC, you can only have one device as each config.Hope that helps.
