Hi, i am currently installing windows 98 SE on VirtualBox version 5.0.14 and every time i come to doing the installation setup i see

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=virtualbox+suwin+c ... nstruction . If that doesn't work, try: Tutorial: Windows 95/98 guest OSes.

BTW, if you ever post in a support forum (which is a place to ask for help), "Help" is not a subject that describes the problem quite accurately...

I think this ancient Windows installer (Win98, not Win98SE?) is having problems running on a modern CPU. I would try enabling VT-x and see if that works around the problem.

And p.s., as Socrates has said: please choose a topic title that attracts people with the right expertise and interests. "Help!" attracts nobody. I have changed your topic title this time. Choosing an appropriate forum is a good idea too. E.g. this doesn't appear to be a host issue, so it shouldn't be in "Windows Hosts". Moving it to "Windows Guests".

No, it doesn't, that causes the problem. See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14811

Ah, thanks. I knew I remembered something involving Win98 and VT-x. I'd have got it right if a log had been provided.

@AjayWale: see? If you want to catch the right fish you have to bait the topic title correctly.
