Windows 98 at Windows 7 VM


Question

1: I have windows 98 installed in a VM on windows 7 (with windows VM). It works fine but I cant figure out how to install the addons. Ive read in a few different places to hit the action key and install from there but all there is under the action key is sleep and close. I cant even find where to get the addons.

2: The default host key is supposed to be right alt but its not. I have to ctrl,alt,del, everytime I want to get my mouse back.

3: I cant shut down window 98 properly. I have to force shutdown every time. I dont know if its the OP or the VM. When I shut down from Win 98 start menu it seems that Win 98 shuts down but the VM gets stuck. I then use the action key and click close but it says it cant shut off the virtual machine and I have to force it.

So my questions are.

Where do I get the addons and how do I install them.

How do I map the host key

How do I fix the shut down prob.

I want to play some older games thats why Im doing this by the way. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, you better go for the other vm software as the above guy said, virtual pc is just not good as the others.

When you say Addons, do you mean drivers etc ?

I use a file called "SBPCI_WebDrvsV5_12_01.exe" in VMWare for Win 98se drivers

Vmware all the way. It's the most stable of the hypervisors.
