It's serious if other applications change. I do know that there were some

Win98 installations that did not have updated Microsoft components and

which did not run the application, and when the early OS was updated to

Microsoft's current Win98 recommendation, then things were normal again.


This may be related to what you're seeing, may not -- it's possible that

those particular MS apps used particular system components which did not

like being updated. I know this is a hassle, but if you check the apps and

components against Microsoft's current recommendations for Win98, then do

you see the results that other people are getting...?


(It may be something entirely different too... running a system diagnostic

utility may be fruitful too.)


Sorry I don't have a firm match for the symptom, but does the above

near-match help point the way at all...?
