Solution is to install rain from https://www.benchtest.com/downloads/index.html -- it stops win98 using the CPU when idle (for the guest, DON'T install it in the host!) -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

What a pain... Seems to be working ok now, managed to install vmadditions from an older version of virtualpc as the current version no longer supports win98 (Microsoft, really? not even virtual support for win98?!) CPU right down, mouse, drag-n-drop support etc. Now to see if theme park will work

none, but it's not for me Win98 and Win95 both are insanely unstable under virtualpc and virtualbox. Currently installing win98 in bochs, which is going incredibly slow, considering I'm installing from an iso to a virtual disc. |edit| vmware doing best so far, win98 installed, seems stable, gfx driver working audio driver working... themepark detecting a 'debugger' and refusing to load

Bloody hell, more than a day of trying to virtualize win98 to play an old game that never worked in XP, turns out the damn thing works fine in win7.

Yup, much like how XP went ".. I think we fudged it with that ME thing", Win7 definitely is a massive improvement on bag-o-crap Vista!
