Windows 95 Virtualbox Image Centos

I have found a little problem with running Win98 on a Win7 host, and I also have the solution.

Windows-Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME. Install the latest driver then you can download VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO image file. As a work around in Centos, not.

  • SciTech Display Doctor is a generic display driver for Windows 95 which is supported by VirtualBox and allows you to run Windows 95 with 32-bit colors and 1600×1200 resolution. Step 12: Mount the downloaded SciTech Display Doctor cd-rom image and install it from Windows 95.
  • Windows 95 didn't support USB, the first version to support USB was Windows 98. The sound and internet problems are likely because there aren't any virtual drivers for Windows 95 (Windows 98 changed the driver model).

To share data between guest and host it is necessary to use network drives. I am using a bridged network connection, but I can see no reason why other network connections shouldn't work.
To share the Win98 drive with Win7 is very easy. Simply set up the Win98 networking to use the same workgroup as Win7, then share the drive in the normal way (giving full access rather than the default read only as required) and Win7 will be able to find the Win98 guest and access the drive.
To share the Win7 drive with Win98 is more complicated. First, Win7 has to have its network settings configured to be Win98 compatible. This is the easy bit. Simply go to the advanced sharing settings for the Home or Work network and turn Password Protected Sharing off. This should enable Win98 to see the Win7 host, although you may also need to adjust the Win7 firewall to allow VirtualBox through on the Home or Work network. At this point you can set up the Win7 drive to be shared (using advanced sharing and ensuring permissions are set using the Everyone account with access rights as required) and then you are ready to access the host machine drive from Win98. Unfortunately, Win7 doesn't understand the Win98 request to browse the host when viewing it in Network Neighborhood, so you can't get to anything on the host. However, the solution is to type in the full path of the shared drive on the host into the Network Neighborhood (or Win Explorer) address bar in the format

If you want to make things a little easier to access in the future, you can map the shared drive to a drive letter. This is a little harder than usual as you cannot get into the host machine and therefore cannot do it by right clicking on the shared folder to assign the drive letter. Again, this can be overcome by running Windows Explorer and using the Map Network DriveWindows 95 for virtualbox under the Tools menu. Select the drive letter required, then type in the path for the shared folder (same format as above), tick the reconnect button if you want it to be permanent, hit OK and you're in business. Please note that this option is only available in Windows Explorer. My Computer and Network Neighborhood windows, although very similar, don't have the Tools menu needed to map the drive.
