Install using setup.exe /p j

If you forgot, open Device Manager, find the erroring APM device, 'Update Driver' and choose “Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)”

Set VirtualBox to use “AMD PCnet-II network chip” and it should be automatically detected

From the console:

VBoxManage modifyvm “Windows 98” –mouse usbtablet

However the mouse still isn't quite right. The internet suggests setting “VBoxInternal/USB/HidMouse/0/Config/CoordShift” to 0, but this doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Set VirtualBox to use “Sound Blaster 16” In Windows 98, use 'Add Hardware', including non-pnp devices - should select “Soundblaster 16 or AWE 32 or compatible”

After the program launches, you have to find the little round radio button link to click to 'enable' the new driver (otherwise you still have VGA). Even then, you can't select any higher resolution modes until you change the 'default monitor' in Display/Device Manager and select one of the 'Super VGA' types.

You should be able to select 800×600 or 1024×768 (or higher) resolutions with 32 bit color depth. (32 bit color mode really speeds things up)

NOTE: You must install “Universal version”, as “VirtualBox” version is known to have problems. WARNING: This driver is buggy, and many Windows fonts do not render correctly with it. Not recommended.
