Thanks for your replies...

@MEB: @Bill;

Latest Radeon drivers for Win98/ME give support up to Radeon 9800; since my HD 3850 belongs to next generation I cannot use them.
Furthermore, there is a driver named "Radeon Series" fails on installation.

If you mean within the 98 VM, then that's expected as the virtual machine does
not control the physical video adapter. Think about it.. how would the host OS
and the virtual guest OS be able to use two different adapters. VMWare
is painting the screen the same way any other windows program does. If you
get only "16 colors" it's because the guest OS doesn't have the correct settings or
isn't properly configured for its virtual adapter. And that could be drivers, but
not the drivers you need for the physical hardware. The virtual machine uses
emulated hardware.


Lately (It was 0300 in the night, btw) I have discovered "VMWare add-ons; a generic graphics dirver gives support to higher
resolutions and deeper colors.

There it is :-). A better driver for the virtual hardware.



Cool, so can he then perhaps setup a lower speed for the emulated
processor? Or do you know of some way that might work with the speed issue?
