Just a little tidbit after fighting with running W&W on Win 98 w/ DirectX 8a installed. After trying everything I could think of to combat the crashes to the desktop, I finally tried going back to the original drivers (version 4.12.01.0530) that came with my 3D Prophet II MX card. Lo and behold, no more crashes! I was using version 4.12.01.0650, dated 12/04/2000 and also tried the Detonator3, version 4.13.01.1100, 03/06/2001. Both those drivers caused crashes to the desktop. I'm currently downloading the Detonator3 v12.41 drivers to see if those will work. I'll post later with the results but I thought there might be a few people out there who might try this as a fix.
