And second, you don't "download" the additions, they install from the
Action menu of the running virtual machine.
VPC2007 will automatically insert a disk in the optical drive of the
guest containing the setup files for the additions, which then will
autorun the installer.

It's Win98Dos. Can't get the window open beyond certain point.

As expected, DOS has a hard limit on its resolution...its not a graphical
display like Windows, so you can't dynamically resize it.
