    VirtualBox:
    There are no Guest Additions for Win 9x.

    How to improve VM usability:
    virtualbox.org • View topic - Tutorial: Windows 95/98 guest OSes

    Setting things up as described should provide you better graphics and overall performance.
    The VM is usable but don't expect too much of it.

    VMWare Player has additions for Win 9x, in that case as @jimbo45 said, you might have better luck there.

    Also, Win95 doesn't detect the cd-rom drive so I can't install VMWare Tools.

    This is a good sign..

    I reinstalled again Win95 because of corrupted drivers. I just bonked to keep changing .img files time to time. So I extracted the files and I used VBox to copy that files to an vmdx file.
