Try booting into Safe Mode and removing your video driver in Device Manager.

You can get to Device Manager by right clicking on "My Computer" and choosing "Properties" from the menu. Click on the "Device Manager" tab.

In the Device Manager window, you will want to expand "Display adapters" and right click on each of the video cards listed underneath and choose "Remove" from the menu.

Once finished, restart and see if that helps you out. Windows 98 will reinstall your video drivers on your next boot (if successful) and hopefully that fix your problem.
