As Cynthy posted a clean install can make your life MUCH easier....
I use Communicator daily.  I would suggest on change.... You might
make a emergency disk from your current Win98 setup.  The Win98
emergency disk incorporates native CD-ROM support.  After you
have the diskette in hand, place it in the drive and boot with it.  You
will be asked With CD-ROM support.  Choose it and insure your
CD-ROM is supported.
Another caveat, after reinstall you will have to run all setups for the
programs to replace the DLL files and interface with Win98 so insure
you have the original programs and activation keys.
