Hi, guys.? I have some very old programs that require Win 95 to run, and I've been
trying to use Virtual Box to do that.? I installed Virtual Box on my new Windows 8.1
computer, but when I tried to install Win 95 it refused to recognize my perfectly good Win
95 installation disk (with a valid licensing code) as a real O.S..? Then it turned out
that the new computer has a hardware problem, and I've lost access to it for at least
a week while it's in the shop being repaired (no, the hardware problem was not at
fault; the Win 8.1 computer was just having trouble charging, but it was fully charged
when I was trying to install Win 95).
So now I'm back to my old Windows 7 laptop.? I downloaded the latest version of
Virtual Box, which says it's for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, but when
I tried to install itWindows said it wasn't a valid 32-bit program.? Does anyone know
which version I need?? And does anyone know how to make it recognize my old Win 95
installation disk as a valid OS?
Thanks for recommending this program; I found out about it here.? And thanks in advance
for your help with this problem.
