Dec 23, 2014 Hi guys:) I want to install Windows 98 onto my MacBook Air via VirtualBox. However my Windows 98 CD doesn't work when I.

Use Sci-Tech Display Doctor version 7 beta. Major Geeks has it. Go to the Sci-Tech website and access their discontinued downloads where you'll be able to download the product keys for the older versions.

They're giving them away. Perfectly legal. I've read that the same key for the last version 6 that they offer can also be used successfully on the 7 beta. You install the version 7 beta, restart Windows, and in Device Manager update the standard pci graphics adapter (VGA) to the Sci-Tech one in the list that appears when you choose to install a different driver and scroll through the Display Adapters to the Sci-Tech Corporation drivers. Reboot again, open up the Sci-tech control panel and you can even use 1024x768 Hi-Color! The other trick is using the latest Realtek AC97 Audio drivers, the Windows 95 VXD version, and update your Multimedia Audio Controller to it. Stuff like this is on the VirtualBox forums.

I'm going to try this eventually on Debian Lenny, as the only Windows I'd want to virtualize is Windows 98SE. I've got a real drive with Vista on it (by choice, really!) I've got XP Pro, and used to do a dual-boot 98SE and XP, but figured I might as well have the latest Windows since I bought it. I actually use the Vista boot loader and BCDEasy to boot grub that is on my 2nd hard drive's Linux partition where Debian is. I wanted to keep the Vista boot loader so I can muck about with Windows all I want without Grub being effected. Let Windows destroy things. I'd just move Grub into the mbr if necessary.

I want 98 so I can use a few programs that haven't worked on XP since they went to Service Pack 2 and of course won't work on Vista, and not on Wine or Dosbox either. Stupid things like Star Trek Captains Chair that don't need Direct 3D but won't run on newer Windows versions. Don't need them, but they're fun as is playing with virtual machine operating systems. Edit - Oh, forgot to mention that less video memory allocation is actually better on VirtualBox.

It defaults to 8MB, but changing it to 7MB has eliminated some problems for some folks. You certainly don't need more than that for what VirtualBox supports for Video anyway. You won't be playing any Direct 3D games!

Use Sci-Tech Display Doctor version 7 beta. Major Geeks has it. Go to the Sci-Tech website and access their discontinued downloads where you'll be able to download the product keys for the older versions.

They're giving them away. I have just completed installing Win98SE as a virtual system in ubuntu 7.10 and I got stuck with a crappy 640x480x16 color screen and was hoping your solution may work.

I was able to download the Display Doctor 7 beta exe, but I'm having NO LUCK finding anything about keys at the Sci-Tech website. Any suggestions?

Sorry, what is that for?? From the manual; 9.5 Custom VESA resolutions Apart from the standard VESA resolutions, the VirtualBox VESA BIOS allows you to add up to 16 custom video modes which will be reported to the guest operating system. When using Windows guests with the VirtualBox Guest Additions, a custom graphics driver will be used instead of the fallback VESA solution so this information does not apply. Additional video modes can be configured for each VM using the extra data facility. The extra data key is called CustomVideoMode with x being a number from 1 to 16. Please note that modes will be read from 1 until either the following number is not defined or 16 is reached. The following example adds a video mode that corresponds to the native display resolution of many notebook computers: VBoxManage setextradata 'Windows XP' 'CustomVideoMode1' '1400x1050x16' Basically, you are in VESA mode because you don't have the proper drivers, this command allows you to config the VESA 'fallback'.

Heh heh, I even got software 3D working by turning on SciTech Display Doctor's GLDirect thing in compatibility (CAD) mode. It was fun doing the samples and seeing glxgears, airplanes flying, etc, on Windows 98SE. It was slow, but familiar as my first computer was a SiS5598 machine with onboard 4MB software Direct3D and was about this same speed. You know those sites that Windows users are forced to use all the time to get stuff to 'generate' 'unlocking' things for old software no longer sold, and even new software for poor folks? That's where you need to search for the SciTech Display Doctor 7 beta thingy to use it more than 21 days.

Hint: Personal (type in your name), 1 (weird question, but I typed 1 and it continued), Pro. If you get it you'll understand.

Mine had no nasties embedded, but be careful out there! Only works on your Windows guest. He he, I tried it with Wine but had to end the process as it couldn't open the dosbox display to use it. I did the whole Unofficial Auto-Patcher for Windows 98SE. 98SE2ME, and 98MP10 installations and have a fully updated and ready to have fun with Windows 98SE. For some reason my Windows 98 Startup floppy couldn't load the cdrom drivers and it froze there, but I substituted an OEM 98 Gold cdrom I had and installed from that fine.

Then I used my 98SE Updates Cd (that $20 thing that upgrades 98 Gold to 98SE from a booted up GUI only), and upgraded to Second Edition. I used SciTech for the 1024x768 res, software 3D, and used Realtek's latest Windows 95 VXD driver download extracted with WinRAR and Device Manager updated the Audio Controller to it. Realtek's setup exe doesn't continue on anything but Windows 95 but extracting it gives you the whole thing to direct Device Manager to. You even get SoundBlaster MS-DOS within Windows sound drivers and a Wavetable midi driver (though midi skips). I haven't installed Rain20 yet that the Virtualbox user faq recommends to handle processor load, but I'll try that soon. Maybe it'll help speed it up a bit.

I'll print out that VGA information posted here. Maybe that would help too, but since I already use the SciTech driver I probably already have that fixed through just using their driver. Not sure though. It works so I don't want to fiddle too much with the configuration.

It's kind of too slow to really enjoy. Rain20 perhaps saves my processor from running at 100%, but didn't speed up anything. I tried to up the video ram to 16MB from the 6MB I was using but haven't notice any difference from that either. I fed it 256MB memory right from the start, so that should be fine.

Internet Explorer runs at a snails pace loading web pages, and some streaming Windows Media Player embedded videos were very herky jerky, although sounding fine in between the skips. I played the pinball game (I get that as part of 98SE2ME) and it correctly received and executed my keyboard entries correctly in real-time, so that's not too bad, but I did need to shoot the ball from the menu as the space bar caused a weird sound to play and didn't execute the plunger. Activating the midi music played it nicely with just slight skipping unless I went and actually played the game at the same time. Then it would just hesitate too much to make gameplay possible. So I turned that off.

(I like that song while playing though!) Even Windows Explorer isn't all that snappy, but better than browsing the web. One main thing I like to have 98SE around for is Star Trek Captains Chair. That uses QuickTime and Shockwave. Good luck with that, eh?

Flash advertisements work fine in Internet Explorer and the latest Shockwave is installed and working on the Adobe test page, but I just don't see an audio-video intensive application running smoothly based upon what I've tested so far. Gotta install a few more things before testing that out but I'm not optimistic. I added Avast to have its protection and it really isn't any slower because of it. I haven't added a firewall since with NAT networking the Linux firewall does that. I recall using VMWare Workstation 5.5 a while back, running a 98SE guest on a Windows XP host and the thing was pretty snappy.

It effectively ran videos, games (not 3D of course) very well. Browsing the web was fine in IE or Firefox. I haven't even gotten to Firefox yet, but that is even more memory intensive than IE, so again I don't foresee a good experience.

I have no idea whether the slowness is due to Virtualbox running an unsupported Windows or due to this being done on Linux rather than a Windows host. I'd think Windows would slow it down more. But I don't see how the Guest Additions would be any speedier than this since I'd really only be getting a video driver and SciTech Display Doctor takes care of that essentially the same way, I think. I'd be interested to hear anyone's experience with 98SE in Virtualbox on Linux regarding running it and getting acceptable performance. This thing is just too slow.

Specs are an AthlonXP 3200+, Crucial 2x512MB PC3200 DDR-SDRAM, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, Audigy 2 ZS Platinum on an Epox EP-8KRAIPRO board. Maybe a newer generation motherboard, processor, memory would make the diffference? Or is it just Virtualbox? I have no problems running Dosbox on Linux, or several programs using Wine. Plenty of speed.

Hi there, i'm trying to find the 'Display Doctor 7 beta' but with no success. If you go to virtualbox's web site and poke around, you find this: At the bottom of the page is this paragraph: Poor graphical output in Windows 98. Unlike more modern systems, Windows 98 does not come with a driver which will work with the VirtualBox graphics card, so it falls back to using it as a 16 color VGA card.

While innotek do not provide Guest Additions for Windows 98, the Display Doctor suite by the company SciTech does contain a driver which will allow you to use higher color and resolution graphics modes. Please note that neither innotek nor SciTech support nor accept liability for the use of this program. You can download the installation program for Display Doctor here and the activation codes here. Of course, that link is for 6.53. And the other links gives you registration codes for it.

I forget what version I downloaded.I think I found 7.3.4.000 somewhere. Just by searching in google. If you're absolutely stuck I'm sure I could get you a web url to download it with. What's the trick here? I can't get the reg codes mentioned from the previous post to work with the 7 beta download (link in the previous post). Anyone else get them to work? I tried the 'windows and dos' codes for version 6.53 and version 5.3a, neither worked with the version 7 beta, as was mentioned on the first page of this thread.

So I downloaded version 6.53, and it won't recognize the virtual box graphics adapter. I'm using a win98 SE guest OS on linux SciTech UNIVBE 6.7 Supports DOS. No Code Required SciTech Display Doctor 6.53 Supports: Windows and DOS.

Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-173D626E-02002 Full Name: 6.x Free Edition SciTech Display Doctor 6.53-d DOS ONLY Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-173D626E-02002 Full Name: 6.x Free Edition SciTech Display Doctor 5.3a Supports: Windows and DOS. Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-816EAD30-20020 Full Name: 5.x Free Edition SciTech Display Doctor 5.3a-d DOS ONLY Free Version Code Reg Code: 00000-816EAD30-20020 Full Name: 5.x Free Edition. Well, Windows 98 is some real sh.t which uses MS-DOS for most common things. That MS-DOS layer is emulated with the 16bit virtual mode manager in x86, but, as one process cannot be both run 32bit AND under 16bit VMM, all 16-bit code must be emulated which causes the system to go really slow. The system was faster when i installed unofficial service pack v2.1a. If you look for a not too slow system, think about Win95 OSR2 (it is actually faster than Win98SE on my system). Think also disabling ACPI, IO-APIC or any high-tech thing that Win98 have hard time to support.

Finally, make sure you install 32-bit drivers. 16bit drivers in Windows 98 are common but painfully slow. Heh heh, I even got software 3D working by turning on SciTech Display Doctor's GLDirect thing in compatibility (CAD) mode.

It was fun doing the samples and seeing glxgears, airplanes flying, etc, on Windows 98SE. It was slow, but familiar as my first computer was a SiS5598 machine with onboard 4MB software Direct3D and was about this same speed.

If you get it you'll understand. Mine had no nasties embedded, but be careful out there! Only works on your Windows guest. He he, I tried it with Wine but had to end the process as it couldn't open the dosbox display to use it.

Not sure though. It works so I don't want to fiddle too much with the configuration.

Which one did you use? I am struggling to get sound on Windows 98 in VirtualBox! You know, I honestly didn't want to use Microsoft's VirtualPC 2007 to run Windows 98, but I was forced to. I tried it in VirtualBox, but I couldn't get the Display Doctor 7 driver to work, nor the VESA drivers they listed on that Geocities page. The VM would just hang on startup, and never go into Windows.

To make matters worse the CPU load was always fairly high, even with RAIN 2.0. It works great with VirtualPC though, as one would expect. It works about the same as Ubuntu or Debian work under VirtualBox with a Windows host OS - Great! All the drivers work right out of the box, and there are guest tools as well. I would be interested to see if it is possible to run VirtualPC on Wine.

Has anyone tried this??? I was trying to set up a MyEnTunnel solution, because AutoSSh wasn't accomplishing my goals (remote ports stay open?): http://freshme.at/index.php?page=articles&op=readArticle&id=8&title=Cant-access-remote-desktop-via-SSh-remote-port-Use-a-Windows-98-VM. Came across this thread when looking for a way to get 16 colours on guest Windows95 in VirtualBox under Ubuntu Hardy.

Is Display Doctor still the recommendation for this? SVGA resolution 800x600 without Display Doctor I have managed to get SVGA 800x600 rather than 600x480 which was all the VM originally offered. When searching the net for a solution I came across (as at 14 May 2009) which gave me the vital clue, although I was not able to follow the instructions to the letter in the VM. The essence is to run (in DOS mode on the guest) Extract Win9504.cab xx framebuf.drv /L c: windows system where xx points to where the cab file is (perhaps on the Windows95 installation CD). This then opens up SVGA as an option in the Control Panel to allow 800x600.

In this article by Alfonso V. Romero, author of, you shall learn what the Guest Additions are and how to install them on Windows, and Open Solaris virtual machines. Introducing Guest Additions Ok, you have been playing with a couple of virtual machines by now, and I know it feels great to be capable of running two different operating systems on the same machine, but as I said at the beginning of this article, what's the use if you can't share information between your host and guest systems, or if you can't maximize your guest screen?

Well, that's what Guest Additions are for. With the Guest Additions installed in a virtual machine, you'll be able to enjoy all of these:. Full keyboard and mouse integration between your host and your guest operating systems: This means you won't need to use the capture/uncapture feature anymore!. Enhanced video support in your guest virtual machine: You will be able to use 3D and 2D video acceleration features, and if you resize your virtual machine's screen, its video resolution will adjust automatically. Say hello to full screen!. Better time synchronization between host and guest: A virtual machine doesn't know it's running inside another computer, so it expects to have 100% of the CPU and all the other resources without any interference.

Since the host computer needs to use those resources too, sometimes it can get messy, especially if both host and guest are running several applications at the same time, as would be the case in most situations. But don't worry about it! Guest Additions re-synchronize your virtual machine's time regularly to avoid any serious problems.

Shared folders: This is one of my favorite Guest Addition features! You can designate one or more folders to share files easily between your host and your guest, as if they were network shares. Seamless windows: This is another amazing feature that lets you use any application in your guest as if you were running it directly from your host PC.

For example, if you have a Linux host and a Windows virtual machine, you'll be able to use MS Word or MS Excel as if you were running it directly from your Linux machine!. Shared clipboard: This is a feature I couldn't live without because it lets you copy and paste information between your host and guest applications seamlessly. Automated Windows guest logons: The Guest Additions for Windows provide modules to automate the logon process in a Windows virtual machine. Now that I've shown you that life isn't worth living without the Guest Additions installed in your virtual machines, let's see how to install them on Windows, Linux, and Solaris hosts. Installing Guest Additions for Windows 'Hmmm I still can't see how you plan to get everyone in this office using VirtualBox you can't even use that darned virtual machine in full screen!' Your boss says with a mocking tone of voice. 'Well boss, if you stick with me during these article's exercises, you'll get your two cents worth!'

You respond back to him, feeling like the new kid in town Time for action – installing Guest Additions on a Windows XP virtual machine In this exercise, I'll show you how to install Guest Additions on your Windows XP virtual machine so that your boss can stop whining about not being able to use the Windows VM as a real PC. Open VirtualBox, and start your WinXP virtual machine. Press F8 when Windows XP is booting to enter the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select the Safe Mode option, and press Enter to continue.

Wait for Windows XP to boot, and then login with your administrator account. The Windows is running in safe mode dialog will show up.

Click on Yes to continue, and wait for Windows to finish booting up. Then select the Devices option from VirtualBox's menu bar, and click on the Install Guest Additions option:. VirtualBox will mount the Guest Additions ISO file on your virtual machine's CD/DVD-ROM drive, and the Guest Additions installer will start automatically:. Click on Next to continue. The License Agreement dialog will appear next. Click on the I Agree button to accept the agreement and continue. Leave the default destination folder on the Choose Install Location dialog, and click on Next to continue.

The Choose Components dialog will appear next. Select the Direct 3D Support option to enable it, and click on Install to continue:. Guest Additions will begin to install in your virtual machine. The next dialog will inform you that the Guest Additions setup program replaced some Windows system files, and if you receive a warning dialog from the Windows File Protection mechanism, you need to click on the Cancel button of that warning dialog to avoid restoring the original files. Click on OK to continue. The setup program will ask if you want to reboot your virtual machine to complete the installation process.

Make sure the Reboot now option is enabled, and click on Finish to continue. Your WinXP virtual machine will reboot automatically, and once it has finished booting up, a VirtualBox - Information dialog will appear, to tell you that your guest operating system now supports mouse pointer integration. Enable the Do not show this message again, and click on the OK button to continue. Now you'll be able to move your mouse freely between your virtual machine's area and your host machine's area! You'll also be able to resize your virtual machine's screen, and it will adjust automatically!

What just happened? Hey, it was pretty simple and neat, huh? Now you can start to get the real juice out of your Windows virtual machines! And your boss will never complain again about your wonderful idea of virtualizing your office environment with VirtualBox! The Guest Additions installation process on Windows virtual machines is a little bit more complicated than its Linux or OpenSolaris counterparts due to the fact that Windows has a file protection mechanism that interferes with some system files VirtualBox needs to replace. By using 'Safe Mode', VirtualBox can override the file protection mechanism, and the Guest Additions software can be installed successfully.

But if you don't want or need 3D guest support, you can install Guest Additions in Windows, normal mode. Installing Guest Additions for Linux Ok, in the previous section, you saw how to install Guest Additions on a Windows virtual machine. Now go and show your boss the real benefit of using a Linux virtual machine on a Windows XP host PC! Time for action – installing Guest Additions on Linux Ubuntu In this exercise, I'll show you how to install Guest Additions on your Linux Ubuntu virtual machine. I'm using a Windows XP host, but it doesn't matter if you're using Windows, Linux, or Solaris as the host operating system because the process to install Guest Additions on a Linux virtual machine is nearly the same!. Open VirtualBox, and start your UbuntuVB virtual machine.

After logging into Ubuntu with your user account, open a terminal window, and type sudo apt-get install dkms, followed by Enter. Then follow the instructions on screen to install the DKMS package. Once installed, close the terminal window.

Select Devices Install Guest Additions from the VirtualBox menu:. VirtualBox will mount the Guest Additions ISO file on your virtual machine's CD/DVD-ROM drive, and the VBOXADDITIONS icon will appear on your desktop. Now open a terminal window, and type cd /media/cdrom followed by Enter to change to the CD-ROM directory containing the Guest Additions.

Then type sudo sh./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run, and press Enter to start installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions on your virtual machine. When finished, the setup program will ask you to restart your Ubuntu VM. If you're running a 64-bit Linux guest, replace VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run with VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run.

Close the terminal window, restart your virtual machine, and wait for Ubuntu to boot up. Once is has finished booting up, a VirtualBox - Information dialog will appear to tell you that your guest operating system now supports mouse pointer integration. Enable the Do not show this message again, and click on the OK button to continue.

Now you'll be able to move your mouse freely between your virtual machine's area and your host machine's area! You'll also be able to resize your virtual machine's screen, and it will adjust automatically! What just happened?

Ok, that was pretty quick, right? I bet you're wondering why you waited for so long to try out Linux, despite the good things some of your 'geeky' friends kept telling you about!

Well my friend, now's the time to vindicate yourself by exploring the fantastic world of VirtualBox and Linux virtual machines! As you may have noticed by now, I'm using Ubuntu on every exercise related to Linux.

I've used several Linux distributions during the last 10 years or so, but I decided to stick with Ubuntu for this article's exercises because of the great friendliness it offers to first-time users. If you've never used Linux before, Ubuntu is (in my humble opinion) the best way to enter the Linux world. Now let's see some tiny details before advancing to the next exercise.

In step 1 of the previous exercise, we used the sudo apt-get install dkms command to install the dkms package on your Ubuntu virtual machine. Since I don't want to bore you to death with all the details involved with this package, let's just say that dkms stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support, and this tiny little piece of software takes care of maintaining the Linux so that your virtual machine can operate without any problems. If for any reason DKMS isn't available for your Linux distribution, you can still run the Guest Additions. Just be sure to execute sudo/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup everytime you update your kernel, or re-install the Guest Additions. What happens if you want to use Fedora, Red Hat, Slackware, or any other Linux distribution instead of Ubuntu? Well, for starters, let me tell you that, at the time of this writing, the most popular Linux distributions officially supported by VirtualBox are these: Linux distribution Versions Fedora Fedora Core 4 and later Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and later SuSE and openSUSE Linux 9 and later Ubuntu 5.10 and later Mandriva 2008 and later Mandrake 10.1 Slackware 10.1 For a complete list of supported guest operating systems, visit the web page.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't use a Linux distribution not officially supported by VirtualBox. You'll just have to be careful because nobody knows if Guest Additions will work flawlessly or not.

Not all Linux distributions accept the sudo apt-get install dkms command for installing the DKMS package. Sins of a solar empire entrenchment latest patch. For example, in Fedora you'll need to use yum install dkms, and with Mandriva you'll need to use urpmi dkms. In fact, openSUSE doesn't support DKMS, and it's a very popular distribution! For more information on how to install Guest Additions on Linux distributions without DKMS support, visit the VirtualBox official forum.

Installing Guest Additions for OpenSolaris That's two down, one more to go! OpenSolaris is the third operating system I'll cover in this article. This is the free open source alternative to the popular Solaris operating system, so the steps to install Guest Additions on OpenSolaris apply also to Solaris. In the following exercise, I'll use an OpenSolaris virtual machine named OpenSolarisVB on a Windows XP host. You can download OpenSolaris from, create a new virtual machine, and install OpenSolaris on it to follow the exercise. Time for action – installing Guest Additions on OpenSolaris Ok, you showed your boss how to virtualize two of the most popular operating systems around. If you haven't tried out OpenSolaris, this is your chance to learn about it, and if you've used it before, this is your chance to compare it with Windows and Ubuntu in a virtualized environment!.

Open VirtualBox, and start your OpenSolarisVB virtual machine. After logging into OpenSolaris with your administrator account, select Devices Install Guest Additions from the VirtualBox menu:. VirtualBox will mount the Guest Additions ISO file on your virtual machine's CD/DVD-ROM drive. The VBOXADDITIONS icon will appear on your OpenSolaris VM desktop, along with the following dialog:. Click on the Run button to start installing the Guest Additions.

The Installing VirtualBox Additions dialog will appear to show the progress of the installation process. Wait until the installation process finishes. Press Enter to close the Installing VirtualBox Additions window when it tells you to do so, then select System Shutdown from the OpenSolaris menu, and click on the Restart button in the Shut down this system now? Dialog to restart your virtual machine. The next time your OpenSolaris VM boots up, you'll be able to move your mouse freely between your virtual machine's area and your host machine's area! You'll also be able to resize your virtual machine's screen, and it will adjust automatically!

What just happened? As you may have noticed, OpenSolaris looks a lot like Ubuntu Linux. That's because both operating systems use the Gnome desktop manager. You can find out more about Gnome at and about OpenSolaris. Now you have the opportunity to test Windows, Ubuntu Linux, and OpenSolaris with a single PC! And all thanks to the virtualized environment created by VirtualBox! In the following sections, you'll learn to use several Guest Additions features that will provide a closer integration between your host PC and your virtual machines.

Summary In this article, we covered how to install the Guest Additions on Windows, Linux, and Solaris guests. If you have read this article you may be interested to view:.
