256 Colors in Windows 98

Post by BillA1016 »

So, for anyone who has been following my sage, I need an old Windows program to run. We've essentially established that it's not going to happen in Windows XP (it's a Win 95 app).

Now, I've installed Windows 98, thinking that was my only solution, and, I suppose unsurprisingly, it doesn't work there either. The problem I'm having now is that it's telling me that I need 256 colors, and I only have 2 colors or 16 colors as my options. This is Windows 98 running in VirtualBox on a MacOS X Lion system.

Any help would be great!

Thanks
