Sounds to me like you have inherited some problems from your prior
installation. Re-installing over an earlier set up does not erase or fix many
problems. You probably need to find the proper driver for your various devices
like the monitor and video card. A full install CD does not have drivers needed
for all computer configurations or makers. HP and Compaq, gateway, dell all
have their own hardware that's not generic.
You also may have a virus.

Subject: [24hoursupport] Win98 SE problems
I got a nice deal on a Win98 SE full cd.
It can do full install, or reinstall over Win98.
I installed it over my Win98, and after that, my Diamond Monster Fusion 16 meg
video card would give me either 16 million colors, or 600 x 800 resolution, but
not both (as before).
I could only get on the Internet for two or three new web pages, and the
browser would lock up; Netscape 4.79 or 7.1, Firefox, or IE, all of them the
same.
Certain programs would work for awhile, then the computer would freeze up.
I ran a backup restore from the other HD, and it's back to the old OS again,
which works fine.
