I hate to say it, but you probably need to upgrade to XP. Like you, I didn't want to - I couldn't face handing over money for an operating system that needs you to reactivate it every time you update your hardware. In the end, I was forced to. Some games that came out didn't support 98, and even for those that did there were DirectX and Media Player issues.

It's annoying to have to admit it, but XP solved a lot of game performance issues for me.
