Any news on Win 98?

Like others here, I have a Win 98 vm that ran fine under 3.0 and won't get through the boot process, safe mode or otherwise, under 4.0. I hate even having Win 98 around, but as a web developer I have to test sites under IE6. Ugh.

Just got a new MacBook Pro and this is the only thing keeping me from wiping the old one.

I've been submitting reports, but would love to hear from Parallels.

As an aside, if I check "Primary OS Screenshot" on the error reporter it tells me that the report cannot be sent after spending a few minutes trying to send it. This is a consistent error. FYI.

Any update on this? It's now been more than 6 months. I *really* want to update to Parallels 4, but I can't as long as I have this issue to deal with.

Thanks,

grrr

Anything happening with this problem?

I really need to run W98 at more than 640x480/16-colour, but can't find a suitable video driver. The one that is on the Parallels 5 ISO is useless - Windows just says its using the best available driver already :( I can't get at the old vmtools.iso on my old parallels 3 disk because I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and Parallels 3 and 4 won't install.

Any ideas where vmtools.iso can be found? Or a suitable W98 video driver?

:(
