Unable to mount ISOs on windows ME in safe mode

Post by bulletman »

Hello all. I have windows ME installed under OS X lion. I can use <host+D> to mount the guest additions ISO when not in safe mode.

When in safe mode, no mounted drive shows up. I tried downloading the guest additions ISO separately, but it will not mount either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

AFAIK there are no guest additions that work for ME.
IIRC XP was the first.

WinME is like Win98 a WinDOS and not supported with GA.

Thanks. So I take it that means that windows ME users are limited to 640x480 resolution?
