does a virtual machine exist for windows 98/win me?

[Shep]

You might see if Microsoft still offers Virtual PC 2004, maybe it supports Win 9x? Anyway good luck with this project. I hope some of these ideas might help.

They do. I downloaded it yesterday, because I wanted to get a Virtual setup of Windows 95 to test out an old game I had (which works!). VPC 2007 doesn't support Win95, unfortunately -- I tried. I know you can run a virtual XP environment, but I'm not sure if you can run VPC 2004 on WinME or not.

I am an expert at VMs so need any help give me a ring!

Really?

Can you elaborate on this:

since QEMU is DOS

Last time I checked the only way to run Qemu in DOS was using HX:

Maybe you meant it is a Win32 Console app.

Did you try installing/running Qemu manager under Win9x/Me?

I tried one of the first versions some time ago and wasn't able to make it work.

Besides, it seems like Qemu 0.9 has broken support of 9x/Me systems:

The elder 0.8.2 can still be found on archive.org:

But if you want something free download QEMU and QEMU Manager(A Gui for QEMU)since QEMU is DOS.

Sorry! I mean't QEMU runs in MS-DOS Prompt.

And,YES Qemu 0.90 does not support Win9x.

But,please anyone tell me a Virtual PC 5.0 Trial Serial Number.This is the only emulator I haven't tried except VMWare.(VMware runs on 2000/XP) OR:Can someone tell me a way of running Virtual PC 04 on 98 AS HOST MACHINE!

Sorry! I mean't QEMU runs in MS-DOS Prompt.

It does not run in a MS-DOS prompt. As jaclaz just said, it is a 32bit console app and you'll see that if you drag a shortcut from it, it will be a windows shortcut and not an MS-DOS one.

Yes, it is common (though technically wrong) to call the Command Prompt or Console in windows NT/2K/XP/2003 "MS-DOS prompt".

Actually it normally uses also, besides NOT being DOS, a different command interpreter, CMD.EXE instead of COMMAND.COM.

Otherwise the good guys that made DOSBOX:

would have done a completely unneeded work when they made the Windows "NT" version.
