Hello,

First and for most, I realize that dosbox was never intended to run or support windows 95. I have, however, setup bochs and created a windows 95 image from my original install cd and have Windows 95 working beautifully on dosbox 0.73. I am, however stuck with 640x480 resolutions. I have googled around and heard of some success with the latest win95 S3 drivers but I can't seem to find a place to download them.

Does anyone know where I can find video drivers for windows 95 that "might" work under dosbox?

Use the following in dosbox.conf:
cputype=pentium_slow
core=dynamic

Do not use the video drivers that come with Windows use the attached video driver.

Don't ask for crazy stuff like D3D/hostfilesystem access/CD Drive access unless you are up to the task of coding it yourself.

Thank you, the driver worked great. However, setting the core to dynamic crashes for me but it runs fine on normal.
