VM stuck at blank screen

[lothkang]

Describe the bug
When I start the VM, only a blank, short and wide window appears (see screenshot below) and the VM doesn't POST (no beep or display).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Installed the VM using an ISO of the original Hungarian Windows 98 SE OEM disc
2. Installed some games
3. Shut down the VM & exited PCem
4. Moved it to C:\Program Files\PCem V17
5. Changed permissions to have full access to it without admin
6. Created a second HDD, copied game installers on it to not have to swap CDs
7. VM doesn't start up anymore

Expected behavior
Normal behavior
