First of all, how to find a working iso file for say Windows 98 or Windows XP, and having it **installing** on the computer and not installing each time I use it. I have a Windows 98 working computer on the same LAN (I tried copying a 20 MB file and it needed many hours so I decided to burn a CD-RW to copy files, but otherwise, I have an installed Windows 98 (on a very slow 200 MHz PC) besides. I understand I can't use the Windows 98 CD-ROM because of the foreign character set (from a German message) but I damnly need that VBox to run for my own homemade genealogy software !!!
