Hmmm... I've not seen that before, so let's try the minimalist approach.

Start the game and go into your game settings. Set everything to its lowest levels -- resolution to 600x480, software drivers instead of 3D, and minimize the other graphic settings -- detail, mips, and so on. Sometimes, you've just got to cut things back to the beginning.

Also, check your start menu in Windows. There may be things there that don't show up in the task manager... QuickTime, Real, and other similar critters. Make sure they're only there if you want them.

Your DX is a little behind, as I noted in the Tech Tips thread. You can download 9.0C from MS, but I'm not sure if it actually runs on Win98. It might...

Let's try that and see what happens.
