Windows 95

Post by ghendric »

Has anyone set up a Windows 95 VM? I set one up just for giggles and got it running but the additions won't install. Apparently Windows 95 is too old.. lol... I was wondering if there are some additions that would install or if there was a way around this to at least get a video driver installed so I don't have to look at a standard VGA screen...

Thanks

There are no Guest Additions written for Win9x/WinME. See the Win98 howtos for how to get the best out of a Win9x VM. Some of what you can achieve will be limited by the choice of Win95 - Win98SE would be better.
