In this video, I will show you how to install Windows 98 display drivers in Virtualbox. This is a necessary step if you want to get the best possible display performance from your Windows 98 virtual machine.
I will be using the SciTech Display Doctor driver, which is a free and open-source driver that supports high color and other advanced features. I'll walk you through the process step-by-step, and I'll also provide links to the necessary drivers.
I hope this video helps you install Windows 98 display drivers in Virtualbox. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
Note: that the SciTech Display Doctor driver is not the only way to improve the display performance of your Windows 98 virtual machine. There are other drivers available, such as the VBE (VirtualBox Extension) driver.
The VBE driver is not as feature-rich as the SciTech Display Doctor driver, but it is easier to install and configure. If you are not sure which driver to use, I recommend starting with the VBE driver.

SciTech Display Doctor, previously known as Universal VESA BIOS Extensions (UniVBE), is a wonderful universal display driver for DOS and Windows 95/98 systems.

VESA/MCCS (Version 7)
Scitech GLDirect OpenGL emulator (Version 7)
Usable as wrapper video driver (Version 6.5 and later)
VBE/Core 3.0 (Version 6 and later)
VBE/SCI (Version 6 and later)
