When I stepped through the startup and disabled sddhelp. It appears the sddhelp. Hey man great guide. I tried installing the AC97 driver and it appeared to work. Got sound when I booted up, but silent when I tested music in dxdiag. Keep me posted if you find joy for the AMD processors….. I have followed all of the instructions for the graphics driver. Unsure how to proceed. I did uninstall and reinstall Scitech Display Doctor, but it made no difference.
I can play Thandor : Die Invasions, but fortunately… I still got no sound from the game. The game runs smoothly, everything…but no sound. I hope everybody else happy with your tips so they can play their old game in this modern era.
ZIP, commented above? Thank you for all your efforts, I will soon try to apply all your recommendations. I know WHO you are! Yes: you are the only one who is able to squeeze 8 GB out of a fixed disk of 2 GB. I am honoured and privileged! Thank you, Duncan, for this Windows 98 trip!
I did forget and was rewarded with the suggestion to format my beautiful and loaded NTFS disk…. Maybe a point to emphasize somewhere inbetween? Great stuff, still working! The Add Hardware with registry modification method worked perfectly for me. Hoping I can get things working. Found SciTech at MajorGeeks and most of the others around the net. Well the big problem with the VxD sound driver is that it uses the Windows 95 driver model so DirectSound and mixing and all the things WDM audio introduced with Windows 98 will not work.
That takes the fun out of the virtual machine. Might as well use VMware Workstation. Shame on Oracle and VirtualBox to not support the venerable Windows 9x family as guests. Looks like people are still hitting this comment thread.
But you also lose decent graphics support. Windows 98SE in VirtualBox starts with plenty of missing files. You need to disable 32bit protected mode harddisk access in system settings by entering safe mode. The nasty thing is that safemode can not be reached in VirtualBox because holding Ctrl or F5 or F8 during boot did nothing.
Great instructions, thanks! Just a heads up, sometimes when running the unofficial service pack 3, the program infex. The Platesteel links worked for me, but had to go from root of win98 directory though did same for as bit7 for SciTech — details in google drive mentioned no download permission.
Nothing else stopped buggy installs except your guidance!! Thanks a hell of a lot from Aotearoa. Really bad for games that require DirectSound. I can express how happy I am now!

You should see a CD drive with Sdd7 — double click that then run the scitech-display-doctor-win Either register it or start the 21 day trial. OS will reboot again remember how annoying this used to be? Reboot one more time to be sure. Hello accelerated Windows desktop! I connect through a local area network LAN.
Accept everything except for setting up a mail account. Internet Explorer 5 will load. I recommend that you download Opera 9. Just rename this to opera.
It will complain that Msimg I have never realized how difficult it is to find the download page for the VirtualBox Guest additions, it is. I have even burnt the file to cd, but. I've installed Windows 98 using VirtualBox within a fresh install of Ubuntu The guest additions don't work well if at all , and there are no intrinsic device drivers in VirtualBox to support the antique Windows 98 drivers.

A much better alternative is Virtual PC I never thought I would be recommending a Microsoft product over an alternative There are some tricks that can get 98 running at a usable speed which are included in the tutorial. Whilst Windows 98 cannot be installed with hardware virtualisation enabled, in most cases it can be enbaled safely after installation, making it absolutely fly.
