One thing I'd consider would be just to back up your important=

disk clean (or buy a larger one if needed!) and reinstall a=
 fresh, clean copy 
of Win98se. 1) You don't have to buy new software. 2) You're=
 already familiar 
with it. 3) There aren't any potential compatibility problems=
 with anything 
you have now that works.
