I receive a black window and I have to end Windows 98 by pressing the little red block. Starting up again, it takes a long time because it was not finished (it must scan everything) in the correct way. Thanks for possible suggestions, and Thanks for all information on this forum!

Um…What do you mean by “{vmname}”? Like i.e. “Windows 98.pvm”, “{Windows 98.pvm}”, “Windows 98″, “{Windows 98}”, or what?

It’d be nice to be able to file swap, so please enlighten me. Thanks!

I believe you'd just be able to copy & paste all your instructions for here EXCEPT for all of the drivers. It would be wonderful to know how to get the sound working on my Windows 98 SE. Also, the same thing happens to me when trying to set up a printer with a local connection--it only appears in the printer queue, and the printer even warms up and gets ready, but it doesn't print. How exactly did you set up your Network connection for the printer? It prompts for the "Network Path or Queue name," but I have no idea what that is. When I click "Browse..." I don't see anything, so I try to expand "Entire Network," but it says "Unable to browse the network. The network is inaccessible"...etc. So I just need a step-by-step explanation on installing the Sound driver and the printer set-up.

It helped me a lot. About sharing this: you can stop VM and then mount the win98 HD (double click on the HD image). From that point you're able to reach all the directories you want. Not a nice, but effective solution for some people. Hi, thanks for this excellent manual. It helped me a lot.

However, I have a PCI Bridge and PCI Universal Serial Bus that is not functional - the drivers are missing. Also, APM support is missing. Any ideas as to what to do to correct these last three items. I see that someone else had the same issues on the Parallels Support Forums. No Fix or Solution provided there either. Also, the Virtual 98SE System just went to sleep and crashed. Reset was successful. Now set for No Display Sleep!!! Any input? Thanks! So, where does one find the actual specs for the base platform that is actually running under the Parallels VM? A particular Main Board and Chip Set emulation? Anyone? Ahhhh, the installation went beautifully well, thanks.
