By any chance is the database in the root level of the CD-ROM?  I've  
never confirmed this but I seem to have read once that win98 can have  
issues with executables and such on the root level of a CD-ROM.  No  
idea if this is true but perhaps something to take a look at if you  
are having weird problems.
