Hello forum members,

I successfully installed Windows 98 SE as my guest OS in virtual box,but can not get the guest
addtions installed;the virtualbox guest additions are "mounted" as a virtual cd-rom drive,but when I click to "autoplay" I get NO confirmation nor progress indicator of the additions installation!!?? :cry:

I am also having pronlems with virtual box finding PCI card drivers(Intel ICH 7 sound chip,analog modem,etc.!!),and USb hub/bus drivers;I know when I first installed Windows 98 SE that the USB icon was "enabled"(no longer enabled) in the virtual boxtaskbar(??)!! :?

Thanks in advance for a reply!!

Win 98 is ancient history. It's clearly stated in the manual and the global FAQ on the main site: there are no GA for Win9x. Only 2000 and higher are supported. If you read and followed the Forum Posting Guide, you would have known without opening this topic.
