I bought a Creative V2 12MB a few months ago, and experienced about a dozen
or so crashes on the first evening. Then I remembered some advice that a
friend gave to me: he told me to 'remove' my other videocard in Control
Panel before plugging in the V2.
By doing so, Windows 98 will detect two new plug&play devices, which will
then be installed. My friend claimed that systems will become more stable,
if you let Windows 98 sort out the peripherals.
I'm not sure if this advice will do you any good, but my setup has run
pretty stable since then.

Best of luck!
