Point of interest - VPC (like any other Virtual Machine software) just EMULATES hardware - you MUST supply the CORRECT drivers. I can do ANYTHING in VPC that I could do if it were a "real" PC. I can ALSO use the Emulated Network Card in DOS and even PRINT to my. Why is it I have a VPC DOS/Win3.11 AND a VPC Win98SE and both work just fine? BTW, I DID get the files from the site I gave and use them. ALSO in the FIRST screen - that's NOT a VESA driver. Did you REALLY use XP's "DOS" and actually change screensize? AND have sound? Did you have to use ANY other drivers other than those supplied with XP on the REAL PC? IOW, suitable to run on (e.g.) MS-DOS 5.0, so.
(5) I note the "errors" and the info you just provided indicate that it's a Pure DOS 16-bit game. DOS Virtual Machine Additions.vfd <-for DOS (DID YOU INSTALL THIS?) VMAdditions.iso <-for Windows (DID YOU INSTALL THIS?) in folder "Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual Machine Additions" (*) Did you notice that VPC also has a couple of "extras" to allow accelerations? (*) You will HAVE to allow resizing of the Screen in VPC (4) Virtual PC does NOT have Drivers - you are using the DEFAULT ones supplied with Win98. (3a/3b) Did you "install" the Correct Drives for it? (same FTP site, btw) (3a) Note that I had to use the "-nosound" parameter, otherwise the VM just hangs up.Īlso if I use the (4) Virtual PC's S3 driver, the (3b) VM hangs up on initializing sound for a little while, and then there's the same story as before.(1) You mean the VPC "emulated" one? I get the EXACT same message if I try to run in MS-DOS mode. So as you can see, even though I have the (1) VESA graphic card, and the (2) original driver (not the Virtual PC one), I get this error. I will try once again to run this game in Virtual PC with Windows 98. ■ Also backwards compatible with MDA, CGA, EGA, and VGA
■ Supports 1600 x 1024 and 800 x 512 16:9 aspect ratio modes ■ Fully implements S3 Trio 32/64 graphic acceleration features and Virtual PC Additions may be required for the guest PC to Some video drivers may only recognize 2MB or 4MB of NOTE VRAM availability is dependent upon the guest OS’s videoĭriver. ■ Implements 8 MB of emulated VRAM, allowing for up to 1600 xġ200 PC screen resolutions with 32 bit color ■ Emulates the S3 Trio 32/64 PCI SVGA Card
Video Card - S3 Trio 32/64 PCI with 8MB VRAM Sound Card - Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 ISA MS' VPC is the old Connectix VPC - they bought the rights. The above link is not as good as this one which is a really good collection.
Heck, you can even get the NIC to work in DOS or Win98. The problem you're having is that the program (whatever it is - a game?) needs 16-bit drivers for the associated hardware. Virtual PC w/Win98 works and so do 16-bit programs.
