You are all guys, a ready-to-use Win95 VM will be available in the next weeks.

when i do right control + f i get the window fullscreen but the actual windows 95 screen stays the same size. Is there any way to make the windows 95 screen to full screen size.

Secondly I don't have movement in my arms so i use an external touchpad mouse to use my computer and the on screen keyboard to type, so i was wondering if there is any way to get an on screen keyboard on the windows 95 vm.

1/ Running W95 in fullscreen is kind of a random thing depending on your "real" screen. It looks like Win95 can only render 4:3 resolutions and can't stretch to fit a 16:9 widescreen (probably because 16:9 screens weren't popular at this time); in fact, you can stretch it, but it's not really eye-pleasing to have difformed graphics.
The VBE driver we've installed does offer 1600*900 and over, but even if you select this the ratio won't change.
Having a 16:9, 1600*900 screen, the best fullscreen result I could get was 1024*768 - but with black borders, since it's a 4:3 resolution.
If you have a 4:3 screen, all you have to do is to set the Win95 resultion to the same as your host OS resolution - it should take the whole screen.
If you have a 16:9 screen, you'll have black borders anyway.

You might have to change the Monitor driver: Control panel --> Display --> Settings --> Advanced Properties --> Monitor --> Change --> Show all devices and get something above 1024*768.

2/ For the on-screen keyboard, Click-N-Type (freeware) is working fine under 95. I've put an installer + the MSI update in this ISO. You need to first run InstMsiA.exe and then CNTsetup95.msi.

thanks for that. Would windows 98 or the new vm your creating run world of flight and would it be full screen compatible

Likely Win98 will run MSWOF without problems, however I don't know about the widescreen thing. I don't have any 98 VM at the moment to check what resolutions and ratios are supported.
A software like PowerStrip appears to give good results at stretching and works on 98, but the full version is $30. Will investigate.
