Windows 98 - New User to VirtualBox

Post by JohnPipe »

Hi. I tried following the steps in the tutorial for sound with VirtualBox but it never finds the 16 bit soundblaster.

I think I am deleting the wrong drivers for audio. I am also having trouble getting past 16 colors using the driver.

I apologize for my ignorance. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Look in the "Other Guests" forum for info on getting W98 working. The "Windows Guests" forums tend to be about modern Windows OS (NT based).

So exactly what didn't work from this howto: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9918 ?
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.
Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions
Howto: Use Shared Folders on Linux Guest
See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org
