So you're saying you can't even install Microsoft Virtual PC ?? How the heck did you get Windows 98 installed then? Provide specific details on the specs for the host computer. Be specific. Have you ever been able to install VPC ?
I would assume so given the amount of posts here about your problems with Windows 98 in a VPC. I have to say that at this point I'm pretty darn confused. Maybe you should start over in this thread, not another one and describe the problem s from the beginning. As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts.

Hello everyone, I must have spent 2 hours last night trying to install Windows 98 first edition on my HP Pavilon Slimline mini-desktop. Any help you all could give me would be MUCH appreciated.
Monday, April 25, PM. You can go to Steve Jain's website and download a premade 98 vm. Everything you need is on my website, Colin posted the link. Thank you all so much for the assistance!
Thursday, April 28, AM. Avast is one of the few that still supports Win Your physical computer can be running Windows, and the virtual PC inside it can be running Linux; or the reverse. What you see in a virtual PC window or in full-screen if you switch the virtual PC to full-screen mode is what you would see on a physical monitor if the virtual PC were an actual, physical PC.
If you don't understand these concepts, download the free Microsoft Virtual PC from Microsoft's web site search Google for " Microsoft Virtual PC SP1 " in order to find the download page and experiment with it until you do. You do not need to install the original non-SP1 version; the SP1 version is complete. Make sure to download the correct Virtual PC version for your operating system!
If you have a bit version of Windows, then download the bit version of Virtual PC, not the bit version! Remember, just because you have a bit processor in your computer does not mean that you have a bit version of Windows, though, if you bought your computer after around , you probably do have a bit version.
Again: Don't be clueless! Important terminology: Your actual physical computer, running Windows XP or Vista, is called the " host " machine. You can have more than one guest machine running inside the host machine at any one time, though there is usually no reason to do so. Note: Virtual PC achieves this feat by taking the output of its "virtual" video card and sending it to your computer's full screen using the graphics commands built into your actual "host" copy of Windows.
The screen looks as if it is displaying old-style hardware-based VGA fonts, but it actually displays a graphic image of those fonts. If you want to transfer files between a guest machine and your host system, you must do one of two things: either use Virtual PC's "Shared Folders" feature, which lets you designate a folder on the host machine as a drive letter on the guest, or set up a Windows network that can be used by the guest and host.
You may already have a Windows network, and the guest machine can act like another computer on your existing network. If you create a DOS-based guest, WordPerfect thinks it is running in an old computer, just as it was designed to do.
Unfortunately, the only way to move files between the guest and host is through Virtual PC's "shared folders" feature, which is very slow when working with large files or folders with a large number of files. Furthermore, unless your printer is directly connected to your computer by a parallel cable to a parallel port that is built into your motherboard, you will need to setup a complicated workaround method to print from WordPerfect. The relevant methods are described below.
If you create a Windows based guest, WordPerfect runs as well it does in a DOS machine, and you can share files between guest and host either through Virtual PC's "shared folders" feature or over a traditional network connection between guest and host; both methods, unfortunately, are slow. You can also print from the guest machine to a networked printer on the host machine. I understand how this method works, but you haven't told me whether you think I should use it.
It sounds very complicated to set up. Please tell me whether the results will be worth my time and trouble. I can't tell you the answer to that question. Thanks again for helping me out. I had spend hours looking for something like this. I need to run an old CAD application that is far to expensive to upgrade.
It is running in the Windows 98 VM.

VMware performs a little better and works with some stuff Virtual PC doesn't but also doesn't work with some stuff it does. Titcher , Aug 31, Joined: Jan 22, Messages: 1 Likes Received: 0.
You need to be running a 64bit version of Windows to make any use of the 64bit. InsaneNutter , Jan 22, Joined: Jan 26, Messages: 2 Likes Received: 0.
I have some mathematical software that I need to run in Windows98, however I cannot transfer the files into your Windows 98 Virtual Machine. I would appreciate any help you can offer. My System: I have a new computer: Core i5, Win 7, bit. It has a Blu-ray burner and multiple USB ports. I have a cable internet connection. My problem: I cannot add copy, transfer any files to W98VM. The drag and drop function doesn't work from Win 7 to W98VM, or vice versa.
