![]() ![]() ![]() It could even still make use of DOS drivers. It still ran on top of DOS, but bundled its own special "Windows 95" DOS (AKA MS-DOS 7). But Windows 95 was not a pure "32-bit" OS: It was still based around the framework of Windows 3.x, 2.x and 1.x. It no longer ran on a separate DOS product. It integrated the ability to run 32-bit applications similar to Windows NT or Windows 3.1 with Win32s. And it included the same networking abilities as Windows for Workgroups. ![]() It also included a new way of finding installed applications through a "Start" menu. (FAT16 and FAT32 drives give problems once shared between guest and host, even if technically they work).Windows 95 offered, at long last, a well designed document-oriented desktop shell that worked much like the 1984 Macintosh Finder. Most importantly, drag and drop works in VMware for all 3 9x OSes.įor VirtualBox, since drag and drop does not work, you can create an ISO in the host and mount it or format a USB drive with FAT12 file system, install USB drivers in 9x guests and connect it. You can use VMware's graphics driver or SciTech Display Doctor 7.0, which you must use for VirtualBox. In VMware Workstation, all the 3 OSes work beautifully, all have DirectSound acceleration and proper MIDI playback too. (For 95, you need to turn off all audio acceleration in DxDiag and use emulation for the SoundBlaster so software-based DirectSound at least works properly). With a hack, you can get AC97 working too in 98/Me with full DirectSound acceleration. In VirtualBox you can get every driver installed and working though for Windows 98/Me except the one device related to ACPI (PCI System Peripheral). Although scrolling with wheel/touchpad no longer works in Windows 98 with USB tablet but works in Windows Me. It's the only OS that has major issues and only with VirtualBox with mouse movement.ĩ8/Me work fine once pointing device is set to "USB tablet" and the vboxmanage tweak is done as far as I know. ![]() Windows 95 in VirtualBox is a very difficult case though because of erratic mouse pointer which jumps suddenly from one edge of the screen to another. ![]()
