I was looking for a Windows 98 boot disk so i could setup a Windows 98 virtual machine on VmWare Esxi, i was surprised to find Digiex was the first result. End result is i got my VM working perfectly, nice post Rick.
Sep 13, 2010 Hey- I've installed Windows 98 using VirtualBox within a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. Computer: DELL Inspiron B120. Anyway, my problem lies in my difficulty in installing graphics drivers to the Win 98 installation. Before you redirect me to a windows or VB forum, though, let me explain that 98 doesn't even detect the graphics chip type; I think this is a fault of VB, not Windows.

Any help? I'm trying to get decent graphics on here to run Rosetta Stone, and 16 bit colors doesn't cut it. (It won't work under Wine; for one thing, I have a different version with a different language already installed.)
Thanks a lot!

I have been preparing Windows 98 for use and one thing that bugs me is too low a screen resolution.
So, I was told to install SciTech Display Doctor and switched to their display driver. I also have the monitor recognized as CyberVision C112 and now I can set the resolution to whatever I want, as long as I am using the SciTech display driver.
However, I don't get an option for 1366 x 768, which is my native resolution. I can set the colors to 32-bit, which I did, but this doesn't do anything.
Also, DTR and DSR are also connected in cross mode. Why to use Handshaking?To send and receive the information without loss of data, it is necessary to maintain robust communication between the transmitter and receiver. Other pins, RTS, CTS, DSR, and DTR are connected in loopback fashion.To use the handshaking technique, RTS and CTS are cross-coupled. To do that, buffer is used. Rs232 serial port communication.
I have tried changing HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIGDisplaySettingsResolution to 1366,768, but I get an error when I restart:
Gta 5 download pc windows free. There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter type is incorrect, or the current settings do not work with your hardare.
Is there a way to force the resolution to 1366x768 on Windows 98?

Use VBEMP, it supports 1366x768. No 2D/3D acceleration whatsover, but as long as you don't run any games, you should be fine. Also use it in 16 bit colour mode, it's slightly faster.
You'll find VBEMP here:http://www.navozhdeniye.narod.ru/vbe9x.htm
