![]() I have, naturally, researched the issue to some extent, but it appears that most people believe this error to be caused by a virus. "Invalid System Disk Replace the disk, and then press any key" It will run what appears to be some kind of diagnostic (wherein I can press 'DEL' to enter the BIOS) directly after which this error will appear: Thus, I am now attempting to use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and have been reasonably successful up until the point where I actually try to start up the virtual machine. At first, I naturally tried VMware, but was unsuccessful due to either a lack of memory or processing power. I would continue the discussion there, but my current problem is quite a bit different.Īs was suggested by many members, I attempted to virtualize an existing Windows 95 installation. You can install Guest Additions by starting your guest operating system and then click the menu item Devices (on top of the VirtualBox windows) and choose Install Guest Additions.It seems that I spoke too soon regarding my prior problem concerning Windows 95. ![]() Note that the Guest Additions are supported by Windows NT and later OSes (Windows 95, 98 and ME are NOT supported). When you have installed the desired operating system on your virtual computer, please make sure that you also install the VirtualBox Guest Additions to enable the graphics driver and therefore 3D hardware acceleration. Better choose 32 bits Windows XP if possible. You can try and install an additional video driver to boost performance. CPU load is constantly 100% and video settings don't get any better than 16 colors with a maximum resolution of 640x480. These operating systems run very slowly on VirtualBox with default settings. ![]() VirtualBox doesn't officialy support DOS based operating systems like Windows 95, 98 or ME. Remember to uncheck VT-x/AMD-V activation at system - acceleration to avoid system failure when installing Windows 98. Sounds easy, but it really is a job for computer nerds with advanced knowledge. Within that virtual machine you will install a fresh copy of Windows 95 or 98. You can create a virtual machine on your current computer. However, you don't have to search for an old computer in your basement for this. So you'll have to set up a Windows 95/98 system. As mentioned, a Windows 95/98 emulator does not exist. If compatibility mode doesn't work and you can't find a patch or source port, you'll have to use Windows 95/98 itself. Installing Windows 95/98 on Windows 11 or Windows 10 with VirtualBox ![]() On this website we have guides to install source ports for Hexen II and Quake 2. ![]() When instructions are included, it's recommended that you read and follow them! Those patches are often released by fans or amateur programmers, so be careful and ALWAYS scan for viruses and malware! A source port is, different from a patch, a rewritten version of the original program or game which works on other operating systems, but uses the original game or program content. Patches are pieces of software that update the game or program. You better search the internet for patches or source ports. Although the compatibility options above look hopeful, they probably won't work anyway. ![]()
