Hi! Ed,

 EV> Where At?, Paul,

Check out the how-to PDF that I created based on an web forum, at:

 
http://members.dodo.com.au/~colgilly/original/Windows%2095&98%20guest%20OS.pdf

It includes a link to the one video driver that ought to work for you.  (The
other driver has serious issues and will not work with DOS prompt boxes.)  I
checked that the weblink still works this morning, at:

  http://majorgeeks.com/download382.html

It has (several?) download links from there for the 'SciTech Display Doctor 7'.
 (Take note of the comments in that how-to PDF about it.)  Since it is a
previously-available commercial product, it needs to be 'registered' however
the company no longer exists in order to register it with.  With the copy I
have, I was able to enter this registration information, to activate the
driver: S/N: Name: CSCKnight ... Serial: 0B5E-12B4-A8A4-0B.

For a bit of light entertainment, there are some interesting things related to
my vBox PCs at:

There are a couple of other PDF captures of other web forums dealing with
running Win9x in vBox doovers as well, that might be of interest but not
mandatory reading.

While we're on the subject of entertainment.  I think you will enjoy this
weblink:

It's just a lot of people having a great time at an airport terminal.  Turn up
your volume!  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
