On Windows98 it could be a problem with DirectX... try upgrading to the latest version that is available for Win98.

You might want to upgrade to WindowsXP or Linux sooner or later ;-).

Hmm, I have friends that actually want to downgrade to the more stable (at least for them) Win 98 OS.

Windows 98 was anything but stable. No matter how much you dislike Microsoft, Windows XP seldomly crashes - especially compared to Windows 95-ME which were not based on NT.

I do not dislike Microsoft. I've had so little experience with Windows PCs that I can't allow myself to have that kind of opinion.
I'm just saying that I have friends who think that 98 was a better system than XP. That's all.
