Have you tried following the wizards?
I finished installing Windows 98 without any problems. Though I would love to know how to increase graphics performance. Is it even possible to change teh graphics adapter from the trio 64 detected by the virtual pc? What about drivers?

Do you have it on floppies or cd?
I am quoting from the Help file. ------------------------ To use a startup CD or ISO file to install an operating system Open Virtual PC Console. In the list of virtual machines, click the virtual machine on which you want to install the operating system, and then click Start. Because there is no operating system installed on the virtual machine, a message is displayed to Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device. Ensure that the virtual machine window is the active window on your desktop, and then do one of the following: Insert the startup CD for the operating system into the CD drive, and then press ENTER. - or - Drag an ISO file containing a startup CD image to the CD icon in the status bar of the virtual machine window, and then press ENTER. In the virtual machine window, follow the instructions provided for the operating system to complete the installation. ----------- To use a system disk to install an operating system from a CD Open Virtual PC Console. In the list of virtual machines, click the virtual machine on which you want to install the operating system, and then click Start. Ensure that the virtual machine window is the active window on your desktop, insert the operating system disc into the CD drive, and then do one of the following: If you have a system floppy disk, insert it into the floppy disk drive. If you have a system floppy disk that is virtual, drag it onto the floppy disk icon on the status bar of the virtual machine. In the virtual machine window, follow the instructions provided for the operating system to complete the installation. ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Just don't forget to set up the virtual PC with a hard drive and memory.

Ok, I have a problem with it.
Installed a game (Birth of the Federation), it played ok. Installed patch of the game. (a must) While game is loading and tries to change resolution, VPC has a message that it stopped the live change of resolution (whatever that is) to protect the VPC. I click ok, the game finishes loading but it is as slow as, well, not working. Tried a few things, like changing the VPC desktop resolution, nothing. Any suggestions how to stop this from stopping this live change of resolution?
