And second, you don't "download" the additions, they install from the
Action menu of the running virtual machine.
VPC2007 will automatically insert a disk in the optical drive of the
guest containing the setup files for the additions, which then will
autorun the installer.

It's Win98Dos. Can't get the window open beyond certain point.

It has win98DOS. Can't get the window to open more.

As expected, DOS has a hard limit on its resolution...its not a graphical
display like Windows, so you can't dynamically resize it.

What about fixing the DOS so that it keeps the current time? It will keep
the current date, but not the time.

thank you...

Have you changed the resolution in the virtual machine's display? You can
click on the vm's desktop and change the resolution the usual way.
