lol Cheesy I'm trying to get Windows 98 games running that can only run on Windows 98 though I think I've almost got it working anyway now because of scitech display doctor but we'll see, all of a sudden after a fresh install it's letting me restart things normally.

So I have virtualbox now and I have actually gotten everything partially working, the only problem is that I can't play my favourite games yet Sad I'm extremely close to being able to play Theme Park World again. I'm at the point now where you have to change settings so you can enable 32 bit colours etc. which is the only thing now preventing me from playing my game. I can't however restart without crashing Windows 98 in virtualbox, the message 'restarting windows 98' just comes up and then virtualbox freezes and I have to reset which means I can't get the settings properly done.

Would appreciate help because I am so close now, I will get Theme Park World running or die trying! >_< Maybe I need to find some kind of alternative video drivers somewhere, here's the error that shows up when you try and force a change anyway just through resetting and stuff.

There is a problem with your current display settings. The adapter type is incorrect, or the current settings do not work with your hardware
