    Windows 95 Video Card Driver in Virtualbox

    What video card drivers will work that will give good graphics in Windows 95 under Virtualbox? I have a Geforce 7900GS video card.

    Also, what sound card driver will work? I have a Realtek.

    your virtual machine will not actually interface with any real hardware.

    you won't get 3d acceleration and you won't get 7.1 surround sound.

    you'll have to look up what virtualbox emulates and install drivers for that.

    The correct drivers should be include in the Virtualbox additions. Search this forum or google for directions on installing the additions in Virtualbox.

    Good Luck,

    The Virtualbox additions aren't supported for Windows 95. I tried to install them and I get a "Platform not supported" message.

    See http://www.geocities.com/bearwindows/vbe9x.htm for a video driver. Better than nothing.
