Message:I suspect the issue is in Win98. The vm console will open to the resolution
of the guest so it is apparently not holding in the guest. So the question
is why isn't Win98 itself remembering the resolution. What is the name
(exact entry) of the display adaptor showing in Device Mananger? In Win98
Device Manager is a tab on the System Properties page (right click on My
Compuer and select Properties).

Thanks. I'll look into that. It is now set as "default" according to
"device manager".

The goal was to start it fullscreen in 800 x 600.
It now does that.
I have not changed the monitor properties.
I will at some time as an exercise.
What worked:
I went into "not running" settings of the VM
I clicked on "display" and changed that from "use any screen resolution" to
"use guest operating machine resolution"
That worked. It starts fullscreen (checked) at 800 x 600 (internal guest VM
screen properties).
