It just keeps getting worse and worse. I finally found 3 pages
that said the fix to this was reinstalling DX9. Wrong. I
tried it, same thing, same error in the Device Manager.

Well no, that won't fix the problem. ;-) The issue will still
be there.
I've since removed the AC97 codec, then installed the Realtek
850 drivers. BIG MISTAKE. Now the SOB won't even load the
audio at all! So for the past hour I've been search for the
fix for:
"The NTKKERN.VXD, MMDEVLDR.VXD device loader(s) could not load
the device driver (Code 2).
To fix this, click update driver to update the device driver."
Which is shown in the Device Manager now for the audio, there's
a yellow ! mark next to it. And I can't find JACK on it. It's
a common problem and all I see is people asking it, but no
answers on how to fix it! BOTH of those files ARE ON the HD.

Have you tried Quicktime?
It works for me sometimes, or to use a Livecd if 98 won't work
properly.
