I am currently running Win98 and I am having similar problems...but less frequently than you are. I am also going to upgrade to XP, because right there on the box, they recommend you have XP and that is all that is listed. I am no talking abou the required section, but the recommended section says XP is most desired. So, XP...here I come!

As to your errors...All I know is when it happens to me, I have to restart the game, and that usually fixes it, but the occurance is only 30% of the time. Do as posted above, and have all operations shut down that can be shut down. This includes going into your CTRL+ALT+DEL mode and shutting down the "behind the scenes" bad-boys that are not required to keep your system running. I mean such things as your PDA hot-sync, scanner, Winamp, and other items that have the ability to talk with the internet or be on "active" that are not required to be so at that time. You'll notice a big difference.

Oh...don't forget "active desktop", if you use that feature.
