Windows 95 guest on Vista x64

Virtual_Boy · Post by **Virtual_Boy** » 22. Dec 2008, 15:04

Hallo. I've recently installed Windows 95 on VB, my host is Vista x64. Is there a way to make Windows 95 get the host resolution (1280x1024)? I'd like to do that on a new VM with DOS 6.22 if possible.

Tankan.

Look in the FAQ for Windows 9x Video Drivers.

DOS 6.22 is really really old. I think the best you can do is with the mode command:

mode con: cols=80 lines=50

That will double the screen real estate, but it might do it by making the fonts smaller (not sure).

Also that's the XP syntax so it might be different in DOS. :/ Try mode /? for syntax help if it doesn't work.
