Graphics Driver for Windows 98

[Smiler]

Don't suppose you guys are planning on releasing a Graphics Driver for Windows 98 any time soon?

Excellent.

If anyone finds this topic and is wondering, use Scitech Display Doctor 7.

You can find a download of the Beta Trial Version using google.

That worked brilliant.

I also got sound working based on your advice from this:

Sounddriver or Intel AC 97. In my Installation start sound comes, next beep the Guest gets a Blue Screen.

Here is a driver for the problem windows 98 gets 100 CPU because of bad scheduling: http://www.vaxenrule.com/Shared%20Documents/amnhltm.zip

Install Driver in the Guest.

And then I closed the window. I choose to save the state instead of power off.

Now it crashes when I try to bring it back.

Ah well. You live, you learn.

I'll re-install and not choose "save state" anymore

w00t

Discard brought it back to powered down

happy days

I couldn't find this in the user manual, the FAQ or the forums I browsed; if there's a place I should have looked, please let me know!

I'm trying to set up a Win98SE guest and having the known problems with graphics, sound, and high CPU use. I see fixes for all of these in the forums; they involve installing drivers.

Alas, folder sharing isn't supported for Win98. How in the world are all you folks getting the drivers into the guest's disk to install them? As I said, this is probably obvious to everyone but me!

TIA

Use Samba Shares.

Yeah, reading further I noticed http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Sharing_files_on_OSE
which made me realize I needed to set up networking. I'm having a tough time getting that to work--can anyone point me to a HowTo?

Guest is Win98SE, Host is WinXP.

Another thing that occurred to me: I can create an ISO9660 image of the folders I want the guest to see and then just mount that. Seems excessive, but so far the only thing I can get to work!

Start a separate topic. (Windows Guest topic)

I've heard lots of good things about Scitech Display Doctor v7, and it does indeed give me nice graphics (24-bit, 1024x768) in my Win98SE guest under WinXP host. Only problem is that it's a trial version that expires in 21 days and nags relentlessly. There doesn't seem to be any way to purchase it, since Scitech no longer offers or supports it.

They offer earlier versions free (with published registration codes) at ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/ but I can't get them to work. I suspect that this discontinued v7 beta has a "free use" registration code published somewhere, but I can't find it on Scitech's site.

Does anyone using Scitech Display Doctor v7 know how to register it? Is there any other way to get nice graphics?

Head for http://scitechdd.wordpress.com/ . The site owner published his registration code (for v7 beta) there, and if you get the ISO image (the ZippyShare mirror is the only one that works at the time of this writing) the code is in a text file inside the ISO image.
