Graphics Driver Windows 98 Virtualbox
While there is a fix for the 100% CPU, and there are some (iffy) video drivers available, stable graphics drivers, mouse integration, and clipboard integration would be extremely helpful. It seems that VMWare was able to write the 98 additions for their solution. While the virtual graphics card which VirtualBox emulates for any guest operating system provides all the basic features, the custom video drivers that are installed with the Guest Additions provide you with extra high and non-standard video modes as well as accelerated video performance. This graphics driver does not support Windows Aero. Update the driver from Device manager and point it to the VBE9X UNI folder and let it install. Reboot and you have color! Reboot and you have color! YRMV, don't blame me if it doesn't work, etc. All I can say is it worked well for me. How to install graphic driver in Virtual Box http. Install Windows 98.
Ok, you have to be a masochist (or perhaps merely an incorrigible flinty cheapskate). Windows 98 is insecure, slow and inefficient, and, well, is Windows (I am an unabashed Linux proponent).

On the other hand, Windows 98SE is the only Windows OS that can be used without constantly contacting Microsoft (which consumes a huge amount of network time in aggregate). It also does not require registration/activation to run and is not linked to specific hardware, as are other versions of Windows. It also allows the modicum of networking required for CPRS. Further, many old computers have a copy lying around (with a license) that can be co-opted for the purposes of using in a virtual machine. Our organization had a closetful of old unused computers with Windows 98 licenses, gathering dust. Contents • • • • • • • • • • Using Windows 98SE in VirtualBox VirtualBox doesn't really like Windows 98.
The guest additions don't work well (if at all), and there are no intrinsic device drivers in VirtualBox to support the antique Windows 98 drivers. With a few tweaks, however, Windows 98 can be made to run in a VirtualBox virtual machine suitably enough to run CPRS.
• Install VirtualBox. In my (K)Ubuntu system, I used sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-source virtualbox-guest-additions I happen to use Kubuntu, so I use the QT addition: sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-qt • Start VirtualBox and create a Windows98 virtual machine. I name it Win98SE_CPRS.

• I give the virtual machine 1024 RAM and 2 Gb virtual hard drive space. In retrospect, I note that my entire virtual machine (once all the Windows updates and modules are installed) only requires (less than) 400 Mb, so 2 Gb may be overkill. However, this allows some swap space for the Windows 98 virtual memory manager (Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Performance -> Virtual Memory). Nevertheless, a 1 Gb virtual hard disk may be sufficient. It depends on how much RAM is allocated -- the more RAM is available, the less virtual memory is needed. • With only 1024 Mb RAM, Windows startup is quite slow, but the CPRS clients run fine (since they are very efficient). • After frequent usage, I ended up giving the virtual machine 1536 Mb RAM (my laptop has 3 Gb pre-installed, so this represented 50% of the RAM) and used a 2 Gb virtual hard drive.

(This worked out for me because I later placed the virtual machine on a 4 Gb USB flash drive.) The decision on how much RAM to use has to be made in the beginning, though, because once Windows 98 is installed, it doesn't like to have the virtual machine memory changed (unlike later versions of Windows, which can adapt). Install Windows 98SE in the virtual machine • Place the Win98SE setup disk in the CD-ROM drive and start the virtual machine.
Install Windows98 from the CD as usual. (All installation (including disk formatting) occurs completely within the virtual hard drive, so it does not affect the host Linux operating system.) I do a custom install and don't include all the 'extra' programs (Imaging, Paint, Online Services, etc.) to save space. Internet Explorer, VPN, and the networking modules are required, so I leave those alone. • I use a login name and networking name of client9260, without a password. (Later this allows network logins with Astronaut SSH to be a little more streamlined.) I don't use a password so that automatic startups can proceed without user intervention. Make sure Windows bootup does not require a user logon password (so automatic logons can proceed): Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network -> Primary Network Logon: Windows Logon • It is probably best to as far as possible.
