Diesen lud ich runter und entpackte es in Diskettenimage. Dann meinem altes Windows98SE VirtualBox (HostOS: Windows 2000 Prof.) installiert und rechtsklickte im freien Win98SE-Desktop; dann im Kontektmenü auf "Eigenschaften"->Register "Einstellungen"->"Weitere Optionen"->Register "Grafikkarte"->"Ändern"->"Weiter"->"Eine Liste der Treiber in einem bestimmten Verzeichnis zum Auswählen anzeigen"->"Weiter"->"Diskette"->dann eingebundenes Diskettenimage "A:\vbe9x\ati\vbemp.inf"->"OK"
...und Vin98SE neu booten.
Danach dann wieder im freien Win98SE-Desktop; dann im Kontektmenü auf "Eigenschaften"->Register "Einstellungen"-> die Farben auf "True Image - 24 Bit" (nie 32Bit einstellen!!) umd Bildschirmbereich z.B. auf "800x600 Pixel" einstellen.
Ich habe diese beiden Einstellung jeweils gesetzt ohne Vin98SE neu zu booten. So blieb es stabil.
*** Und noch rasch "Rain 2.0" auf Win98SE installiert (Quelle:

Downloaded and it installed perfectly. But I experienced an issue. Screen is completely black (guest screen, of course). I still can use the computer, click on things, log in, but I do not see anything. I do not see where I am clicking. Is that a known bug? Or I screwed something up? I'm using Windows 98 Second Edition OEM running under Windows 10 Home hosting system, with VirtualBox version 5.1.22 r115126 (Qt5.6.2) - should be the most recent one. As soon as I installed Windows 98, I went ahead and decided to install the VBE drivers, too. Went to Graphics adapter, chose to change driver, selected the downloaded drivers from the Russian sites (I decided to select UNI version). It installed and I could immediately change screen resolution. However, it forced me to restart computer. It increased resolution, but the guest screen is completely black. Now what to do?
BTW, what do you say to this:
irrelevant offsite linked deleted by moderator.
EDIT: It returned to normal when restarted, screen was normally visible, using new resolution. Thank you for awesome drivers
