It's probably a problem with your Microsoft OLE extensions in your System
Folder.

Word 98 installs new ones when you install the program, but you may have other
programs on your computer that have installed older ones, and W98 chokes on
them.

Solution:
Do a clean System Folder Install, then the first thing you do is install W98,
this will put the right OLE extensions in your system folder. Other than move
all your preferences over(a pain, I know) this is all that you should really
need to do.

What goes on in the background:
Your other apps that use OLE should run fine, and if they replace the new OLE
with old ones, then the next time W98 runs, it should self-repair and put the
right ones in automatically anyway.
