1. so when i got to around the part after you type the key and it does the time thingy it says the machine performed an illgal operation and the system has stopped and it stops downloading how do i fix this??

2. The welcome sound get me back to my teenage memory … ❤

3. mine keeps aborting?

4. It didn’t work. I kept getting error messages saying that something is missing during the installation. Wonder how to fix this?

5. I selected everything that i could install, Why am i at your point 10:37 keep getting the blackscreen with "please wait while Setup updates your configuration……" Do i have to wait or is there something wrong?

6. Thank you for saying "G U I" and not gooie or gooy or however they spell it, clearly people who say gooy have never learned what G. U. I. stands for which is Graphical User Interface.

7. how do I add the key?
   I am having problems with that key part

8. @ 12:00 i got no errors

9. Done November 2023 works 100% 🙂

10. This tutorial worked, I was glad and happy to relive Windows 98 and many classic Windows games that do not run on Windows 10, especially Petz II and Oddballz. A great nostalgic experience.

11. TELL PRODUCT KEY I CANT FIND IT

12. Me honestly, I miss using Virtual Box cause i had so much fun playing with the classic operating systems. Windows 98 was pretty awesome and so nostalgic!

13. 9:09 how did you do that?

14. help me with the key code!!!!

15. Mr. epan thank you sir 🙏. Windows 10 wasn't even out when this video was made wow 🙀🙀 how time flies.

16. Wow It Worked Its Because Of You! And I Got A Product Key From Reddit

17. One thing: Windows 9x support in Virtualbox is kind of crappy, so I would recommend an emulator (e.g. PCem or 86Box) instead of a hypervisor (VMWare, VirtualBox, etc.)

18. does boot but when setting up, it gives an error "explorer has done an illegal operation and will now be shut down"

19. everything works until i have to type in the product key. can you put it in the description so that i can activate the vm?

20. If you guys are wondering what is the product key it is:
    RW9MG-QR4G3-2WRR9-TG7BH-33GXB

    RC7JH-VTKHG-RVKWJ-HBC3T-FWGBG

21. Dude my laptop is a amd prossesor thats why i cant get to windows 98 only my old dell laptop can (I know how to install it just disable nested paging.

22. my install took 2 minutes! (im on a rtx)

23. @EverythingEpan can you help me? When it comes to the system configuration, it tells me that this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.How can I fix? Please help me.

24. Help! When i try booting from the CD-ROM, it has a breakout point error!

25. Why does it take so much in order to accomplish this, isn't there an easier way?

26. there isn't a product key

27. If you get the error "this program performed an illegal operation…" turn off the vb computer. Go into the settings, go to system, go to acceleration and unchecked "enable nested paging". You will now be able to get to the desktop screen when you start. You will still get an error message but now you can just keep ignoring the error and get to the start screen

28. cant start with safe mode

29. THANK U !!!

30. I installed this as my main OS

31. hello
