Sep 04, 2011 Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine.

I managed to get 95-98-xp-vista going in vbox, with 95 you have to get the boot disks first, then since 95 doesnt recognize your cdrom drive you have to load up a virtual fat partition in xp, copy the disk files from the install cd, then go back and attach it to 95, boot 95 with floppy, then change your directory to the c: drive and run setup, you can delete the install files later, the only problems i am having are with video drivers, its only 16 colors atm but still runs fine. The first ever 95 machine with 512 of ram. I recently installed win95 on a dual core amd 64 system running Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32-24.

Fairly simple to install and quick. Only issue I have with the install, I can only boot into safe mode. When trying to boot into normal mode I get a 'Windows protection error. You must reboot your computer'.

Needless to say, rebooting the VB or the whole system never resolves this issue. And I have no cd-rom support for the windows VBox. I was hoping to return to playing an old game I really enjoyed, Command Aces of The Deep. Thanedaar Movie Video Songs Free Download. But so far no joy Last edited by Tabo58; October 4th, 2010 at 05:51 AM.

You must install third-party software. The Belkin mouse driver (mouse_driver1.0.exe) will work with any brand of mouse and can still be found at: • Paul S. Says: Thanks for trying to help – Has a lot of good info, but can’t get it to work on my mini Mac after 3 times – so I give up! I also tried “Wine”.

Wine works great on my Linux laptop. Will try Boot-Camp next. • Says: I do not use, recommend or support the Apple/Mac/iOS ecosystem, because it is a closed-source, massively proprietary hardware and software business. I tried installing VirtualBox on my Windows 7 computer with limited success. It seems to work best on a Linux OS. So I’m not surprised that you had problems with it on a Mac mini. WINE is very limited.

The simpler the program, the better WINE works. Complex programs, like games, require additional DLL/DMA support and DirectX driver support that may be too complex for a stripped-down MS Windows layer to handle. Windows XP and higher are supported by the VirtualBox guest additions software.

Windows ME and below are not, and therefore require third-party software to support hardware functions. Getting older, impractical operating systems to run on today’s newer/faster hardware is more a matter of luck than skill. But it’s fun to try. It’s not your fault if it fails to work. • John Says: I’ve tried everything I know to make Win 3.11 work and got nowhere after losing several days.

I used DOS 6.22 to boot 3.11, I used fdisk to format 1 GB, and nothing. • Says: I’m not surprised. But by the same token, I could never do this: Windows 95 running in DOSBox in a Web browser. That’s impressive!
