Hi snowtiger, welcome to Cyber Tech Help.
Installing and uninstalling programs has most likely caused most of
your problems. Whether you've used Windows98 Add/Remove Programs
from Control Panel or the Uninstall provided by most programs, these
leave many things on your computer that cause for instability (crashes).
There are two things you can do. One costs money and the other is free.
The free one is getting updates for Windows98 from Microsoft...
open Internet Explorer
in the menu under
Tools
Windows Update
click on PRODUCT UPDATES from there and get
any critical updates showing
Internet Explorer 6
DirectX 8.1
after installing those go back and look for more
critical updates
The one that costs money is a program from Mcafee (http://www.mcafee-at-home.com/products/uninstaller/default.asp?m=3) that uninstalls
programs from your computer. It also has another function called
Quick Clean. Quick Clean will (among other things) clean your
registry of many broken links and other various things that build-up
and can cause instability in a computer running WindowsXX.
