I believe that your problem is due to the fact that you installed DirectX
6.1.

With Win98, I strongly suspect that you are not supposed to install the full
version of DX6.1, but only the core, just like it was for 6.0 if you recall.

Just had a lot of problems with a PC where I did just that by mistake; had
to uninstall DirectX, then re-install all the drivers (video, sound,
voodoo), then install DirectX6.1 core this time.

Now everything works fine.

If you are not sure as to how to uninstall DirectX, there are a couple of
uninstallers available on the net, but I use a manual method that works
fine.

Cheers
