Video driver in win 98

Post by vorob »

How can i have normal color bit and resolution?

I tried to download driver from here http://bearwindows.boot-land.net/vbe9x.htm

Release, debug version pre-beta
2010.06.01

But i wasn't success to install it since win 98 says that there are no driver "there are not hardware data in this folder"

Why don't your "Install Guest Additions" do everything w98 need?

See the "Howtos and Tutorials" forum for Win98 guest tuning advice.

Windows 98 is not a supported OS for either host or guest, hence there are no guest additions for it, and none will be forthcoming unless the market dramatically improves - or a Win98 user like you contributes them. In the meantime I believe Win2K is the oldest version of Windows for which guest additions are available. [ Edit ] Actually, I see from the user manual that NT4 is still the oldest supported Windows guest.
