The best way to handle this is to simply move the Win98 install folder from the Windows 98 SE CD onto your virtual C: drive in VirtualBox, then change directory to that folder in a DOS prompt and run the setup program manually: setup /p j This will force ACPI power management (and the associated CPU IDLE functions) to be installed, and your Win98 virtual machine will consume no more system resources when running than a similar XP or Linux virtual machine.РЎСѓС‰РµСЃС‚РІСѓСЋС‚ РІРµСЂСЃРёРё VirtualBox, РїСЂРµРґРЅР°Р·РЅР°С‡РµРЅРЅС‹Рµ РґР»СЏ СѓСЃС‚Р°РЅРѕРІРєРё РЅР° РїСЂР°РєС‚РёС‡РµСЃРєРё РІСЃРµС… РѕРїРµСЂР°С†РёРѕРЅРЅС‹С… СЃРёСЃС‚РµРјР°С…, РІРєР»СЋС‡Р°СЏ Windows, Linux, Macintosh Рё OpenSolaris. This means that you can't just jam the virtual CD into the virtual CD drive and let 'autorun' take care of everything. The solution is to FORCE ACPI support to be installed, by using the /p j command line switch when running the setup program that installs Win98. So, long story short, there is NOTHING really wrong with Win98, the problem is that VirtualBox's emulated BIOS doesn't fully match up with what Win98 expects a real ACPI BIOS to look like, so by default Win98 will not install ACPI support (and unfortunately, the older APM support doesn't handle CPU IDLE, so we get problems). Back when a lot of todays young Linux geeks were still pooping their dipiys, Win98 was already supporting ACPI functions to create greener PCs and help keep laptops from running down their batteries in 10 minutes (which is exactly what DID happen to me the first time I installed Linux on a laptop that was working FINE in Win98).

Installing with ACPI: (contributed by RichardS) Contrary to what you may have read here in some of the other VirtualBox Win98 threads, this is NOT because Win98se is a poorly written piece of antiquated crap that doesn't even know how to properly handle CPU IDLE.
