I have two forums on the vbox website &#8211;<br \/>\nThe first one<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160321232557\/https:\/\/forums.virtualbox.org\/viewtopic.php?f=28&amp;t=9918&amp;sid=7cc82c47dfc298e289f6856ffe7b9189\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/forums.virtualbox.org\/viewt&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\nand the second one<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160321232557\/https:\/\/forums.virtualbox.org\/viewtopic.php?f=28&amp;t=59559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/forums.virtualbox.org\/viewt&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t install exactly as written (as I don&#8217;t want to download all of the utilities mentioned &#8211; internet data is very costly in India) but I did a &#8216;my version&#8217; of installation as follows &#8211;<br \/>\n1. Made a virtual machine by the specification given on the second link<br \/>\n2. Installed DOS7.2 on HDD (DOS commands only)<br \/>\n3. Did setup as mentioned (D:\\setup \/p j)<br \/>\n4. The setup started as any other OS setup. I didnt do all those savepoints in between, just continued.<br \/>\n5. Setup completed, OS hanged for the first time. I force rebooted by Host R<br \/>\n6. Everything went well after that. But its lagging.<br \/>\n7. I thought converting my screen from 16 to 32 bit would help, so I installed SciTech Display Doctor and configured as written on the second blog.<br \/>\n8. Having screen converted to 1024&#215;768 32 bit, it was still lagging. The first blog says to install a CPU Idle utility, I installed Rain. (I have an Intel Pentium Pro)<br \/>\n9. After I started Rain, I thought lagging would stop, but it didn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m clueless right now. What should I do? Help me. Even if I have to reinstall 98SE on my virtual PC. I just need a stable working 98SE that runs my games \ud83d\ude41<br \/>\nThanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":4},"question-category":[69],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-8248","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-95"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/8248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=8248"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=8248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
