What's going on with the CDs? At the final steps from the setup, it tells me to insert the Windows 98 CD, I insert it, and it tells me that a file is missing, I saw that the specified location was on the hard disk drive (C:) but when I changed it to the CD-ROM drive (D:) the message kept appeating, the same message appeared when I wanted to install drivers, because it said that I didnt have a specified file, I skipped those files.
Same thing happens when booting up from Windows 98 when the installation has been finished, it tells me that various .dll files weren't found, luckily it can still boot up, but it couldn't boot up perfectly with my drivers. That means it doesn't have sound, the display is set to 16 colors, and I can't connect to the Internet and browse on IE or other browsers.
Did you just set it to `D:\ or did you use `D:\Win98?
I usually recommend copying the files in `D:\Win98 to C:\Windows\Options\Cabs first in DOS and then running the setup from there. It saves needing the disk after that for anything else. (You'd have to make those directories first)
So I expanded my Windows 98 VM's display size to 1920 x 1080. I got a windows protection error after. I booted into Safe Mode, it worked fine. I booted into Normal Mode, it messed up badly. Anyone knows how to fix it?
I have an issue. I use virtual box and i finish installing it but then i will log on to windows its says that "Explorer has performed an e legal action and needs to shut down? Any idea's??
At this is install problem on emulator or virtual machine is Not issue. Windows 9x is considered on real PC (with 486 CPU or higher), not considered for Virtual machine.
So I installed Windows 98 on a vm but whenever I try to boot into windows, it says "While initializing device NDIS: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer." Can someone help me?

I changed just the drive
It was like this
C:\exampledirectory
(D:)\exampledirectory
ps: had to add parentesis to avoid making smiley.

Windows 98 does not install easily in VirtualBox, Try using an emulator such as 86Box or PCem.
