Virtual PC: 2007 with Win98 and ATI/nVidia Video

Hi,

I just wanted to put this information somewhere as it took me hours and hours of searching to eventually stumble upon the answer by accident.

I recently installed Virtual PC 2007 and created a Win98 PC. I did this to try and play some old Win98 only games that I couldn't get to work under WinXP.

Everything went smoothly and worked first time, almost. Graphics was terrible when trying to do anything 3D. The S3 compatible graphics driver that Virtual PC installs is rubbish (though a lot better then the Virtual Box one for Win98).

To cut a long story short I eventually installed the Win98 Omega driver from Omegadrivers.net and this worked a treat. So if you have an ATI card try the Omegadrivers. Incedently they do nVidia drivers too.
