I installed Windows ME as a guest OS on a virtual machine (two different software: Microsoft VM 2007 & VMWare ver. 10.0) hosted by a 64-bit Windows 7 (Intel Core i5, 8.0 GiB RAM). Problem is that Windows ME uses Generic 16 colors VGA as my display adapter and it will not satisfy my requirement, because this game needs a 3D 16bit VGA. I tried to install random VGAs through WinME's device manager. It presented a long list of brands and model and I picked some of them. It did not accept any.

1. Amd Display Driver Windows 10

I am completey aware that it is impossible to have WinME to recognize my AMD ATI HD 5450 graphic card. Where do you find daedra hearts in skyrim. Is there any way to fool WinME (or virtual machine?!) to use one of branded VGAs that are defined in Windows ME's database?

Start Virtualbox. Select Virtual Machine Windows 98. Go to settings and mount the Scitech Display Doctor 7 iso file into the optical drive. Start Windows 98 Virtual Machine.

For full colour support you will need a better display driver. A driver I had some luck with in the past is SciTech Dispay Doctor, I know it works in a Windows 98 VM and would expect it to work in Me but cannot say for certain.

I believe the driver is essentially abandonware but am not entirely sure, hence I will look further before posting a direct link here.

Amd Display Driver Windows 10

From https://scitechdd.wordpress.com/:

SciTech Display Doctor is a generic VESA display driver for Windows 9x. From today’s perspective its main feature is that it allows you to run Windows 95 and Windows 98 in VirtualBox at a nice resolution and color depth (e.g., 1600x1200x32 bit). When SciTech closed down they released free registration numbers for their then-current software, including Display Doctor v5.3a, v6.53 and v6.7, but didn’t provide one for v7.0 beta (presumably because it hadn’t been finished). Unfortunately, those versions of Display Doctor don’t seem to work with modern releases of VirtualBox; v7.0 beta, on the other hand, does. This website serves to provide a download of SciTech Display Doctor 7 beta since it can now be considered abandonware. Given that SciTech has released everything else they had for free, I don’t think they’d mind.

I've found a working download link at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BycgkMZbeQOzWXE5NUhnWGRycVE/edit?pli=1 but as with all random file hosting locations this is at your own risk.

There is a complete Windows98 Vmware guide which includes download links for the SciTech driver at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=9918#p39022

Don't install random video drivers in a VM, this will only make things worse.
If 'VM 2007' means Virtual PC 2007, all you need to do is install the VPC Additions (included with VPC 2007) in Windows ME VM.Similarly, with VMware 10 (workstation, I assume) you again just need to install VMware's tools in Windows ME, also included with the program.
