Good evening, I hope this is the right section...
I'm having a little issue with windows 9x. My question is: "Why there isn't VirtualGuestAdditions support for Windows 9x?".
I have already used other drivers but they doesn't work fine. Can you solve my problem please? Something like add support for Windows 9x.
Thanks anyway for your answers.

Re: Windows 9x help
There are no Guest Additions for Win 9x.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Re: Windows 9x help
It would require a great deal of developer time to create Win98 Guest Additions. But, present a convincing business case (*) for investing development resources in a 20 year old defunct operating system and I'm sure it will get done.
Moving this topic to "Windows Guests".
(*) ps. "me wants" is probably not a good business case.

Re: Windows 9x help
In any case there is no reason why you can't set the display size to whatever you want in Win98. See the tutorials section.
