Also tried dxdiag, I could not hear anything in the Sound test but the Music test worked (but was very choppy).

The bell that dxdiag does on each dialog was also fine, as was the Windows startup sound.

Its a fully working installation with a few goodies, and none of the frustration - everything works so far.

I think the reason its not working at the moment is that I havent installed Guest Additions.

Either just use that instead, and use the Guest Additions to share files.

Or use WinXP as a middleman - and network your Win98 VM with your WinXP VM, and copy your files from Win98 to WinXP and then to OSX.

Most Win98 programs run fine in WinXP, so most people just use WinXP with Guest Additions, and leave it at that.

And without Guest Addition shared folder will not going to work.
