View all posts by duncanbowring. I assume this will work just fine with a real installation CD too? You need to restart your computer.
It just says I need to restart. I have also seen BSOD after installing it. Any thoughts? It appears right after the Windows 98 boot screen.
Yes, it helps, but the system works very slowly. Is there another way besides installing the old version of VirtualBox? This option is shit.
Does this works with Win95? Hello, I am having trouble with an issue after installing sdd. You must restart your computer. Doesnt work on Virtualbox ver.
Just wanted to say thanks for this, you were a huge help. How to make it backward compatible to Win 98? Thank you, good guide! VirtualBox 5. Anyone else has gotten reasonable graphics working in recent versions of VirtualBox?
I have tried several video drivers for Windows 98 and none work. I keep getting this error after restarting windows Please restart your computer. This happens over and over. Thank you for the wonderful guide. I made things a little clearer.
Hello nice and very useful article! I tried it and everything worked so far except the audio driver. I tried the other realtek driver for Win 98 but it did not work.
Do you know a solution for that or how to make the Win 95 Driver work? I am so sick and tired of dipshits like you clogging up the internet with misinformation that makes it harder to actually find valuable information. It was posted 3 years ago. If you have a specific problem, post for other people how to fix it. I just went through it again and made some changes. However, it all worked fine here with the instructions that were there. I followed your instructions very carefully 3 times in a row, but every time I get a flood of rundll32 illegal operation errors.

Had a fun afternoon installing 98, got the video driver working, seem to have lost ACPI in the process but no matter. Followed with a happy evening reminding myself of the joy of using 98 after 3. Should mention that I have not yet tried either of those update packages. Use at your own risk but hey, it a VM so worst case gonbak a snapshot. Have now tried both these update packages. The less nervous or more foolhardy may do better. I may try further options later and see what happens.
The official MS update pack does indeed seem to be what it says it is and quickly and easily well, after a typical number of reboots at least install a bunch of security updates, installed IE 6 and Direct x 9. Dear Duncan….. I was able to take a picture of the error message and can send such to you. I have tried at least 3 other authors and their step by step approaches with no joy. I believe the first error is resulting in the second error.
Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated….. I have not yet thrown away all my old 98 software…. When I stepped through the startup and disabled sddhelp.
It appears the sddhelp. Hey man great guide. I tried installing the AC97 driver and it appeared to work. Got sound when I booted up, but silent when I tested music in dxdiag. Keep me posted if you find joy for the AMD processors…..
I have followed all of the instructions for the graphics driver. Unsure how to proceed. I did uninstall and reinstall Scitech Display Doctor, but it made no difference. I can play Thandor : Die Invasions, but fortunately… I still got no sound from the game. The game runs smoothly, everything…but no sound. I hope everybody else happy with your tips so they can play their old game in this modern era. ZIP, commented above? Thank you for all your efforts, I will soon try to apply all your recommendations.
I know WHO you are! Yes: you are the only one who is able to squeeze 8 GB out of a fixed disk of 2 GB. I am honoured and privileged! Thank you, Duncan, for this Windows 98 trip! I did forget and was rewarded with the suggestion to format my beautiful and loaded NTFS disk…. Maybe a point to emphasize somewhere inbetween? Great stuff, still working! The Add Hardware with registry modification method worked perfectly for me.
Hoping I can get things working. Found SciTech at MajorGeeks and most of the others around the net. Well the big problem with the VxD sound driver is that it uses the Windows 95 driver model so DirectSound and mixing and all the things WDM audio introduced with Windows 98 will not work. That takes the fun out of the virtual machine. Documentation for earlier Windows and NDIS versions is contained in prior releases of the documentation.
