Hi everyone,
I spent some time looking through the forums for something similar, but most people don't have problems running win98, performance issues seem more common. Well, in my case I can't get it to start up at all.
If I try to run it in normal mode, I get an unhandled exception. My Visual Studio debugger prints out the following:
Unhandled exception at 0x02de8da3 in VirtualBox.exe: 0xC0000094: Integer division by zero.
I can provide a stack trace etc if you need one.
If, on the other hand, I try to run win98 in safe mode, it starts up fine, but no access to the floppy drive or CD-ROM is possible (which also seems like a bug, and makes the whole thing rather pointless).
If I start in command-line mode or from a pure DOS bootdisk, everything is fine.
The host system is Windows XP SP2. VBox version is 1.5.2.
Is there any known solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Szymon Kurek
