Dosbox Windows 95 Windows Protection Error Device Drivers Will Cause

In fact, it didnt work because in the 4 years between the two cars, Ford changed the lug bolt pattern on the rotors - the bolt pattern on the newer Tracer was literally 1 millimeter larger in diameter than on the Escort.

Given that the hardware is virtual (and the physical hardware is good), this is almost definitely a driver problem.

I was able to determine, almost by accident, that the mouse was the underlying issue.

If I only used the keyboard and didnt touch the mouse (not even moving the cursor) then I would be able to complete setup.

Ive also tested a DOS VM (DOS 6.22 runs fine in Hyper-V - go figure) and determined that almost any mouse drivers will cause mouse and keyboard input to fail completely.

I suspect that theres a fault in Microsofts emulated PS2 controller.

This might be an intentional fault, since MS no longer supports older MS operating systems on Hyper-V.).

Or other ideas on what might be causing the problem and how I can work around it.

I could use VMWare for 98, but I virtualized my old XP box into Hyper-V and Hyper-V and VMWare dont play nice in the same sandbox.

I am not interested in alternative hypervisors to getting a Win98 vm running, I know about alternatives and can implement them when I need to.

If it can run on an iPhone, then theres got to be a way to run it in Hyper-V.

So I installed the Hyper-V role on my laptop and attached the XP drive to a new VM and it came right up.

This left me stuck between a rock and a hard place - I can use Win98 on VMWare and forget XP, or I can use XP on Hyper-V and forget 98.

Or I can disable and enable services and restart my computer every time I want to use a different hypervisor.

OR I could try hacking 98 to run in Hyper-V - and that sounded like fun.

The oldest supported guest OS for Hyper-V or Client Hyper-V is Windows XP.

This is a technical forum, you should expect technical discussion and vetting of ideas and statements.

The link Gary posted to the QA on Superuser has a great example of what a technical answer looks like.

Its kind of like when I sold my 89 Ford Escort and bought a 93 Mercury Tracer.

Id just gotten new tires on the Escort before wrecking it and deciding to junk it.

The tires were the same size on both cars and both cars are made by Ford Motor Company (in fact, theyre the exact same car, except with different trim), so I decided to just swap the wheels over from one car to the other.

Your answer amounts to That wont work because theyre different cars.
