Subject says it all. I can load up Jedi Knight Academy and COD but I can't
actually play the game. Anytime I try to actually play either game they hard
crash. Jedi Knight Academy crashes w/some sort of error about ATIo9xxx dll.
COD runs for a while then the display gets corrupted then it crashes. I have no
problems w/the following other games though: MDK2, RTCW, ETMatrix, May Payne 2,
Unreal 2, C&C Generals, Quake 2, Undying, Warcraft III, NOLF 2, Unreal
Tournament, Jedi Knight Outcast (strangely enough, it works fine), BF1942.

I'm running 98SE, 9800 Pro, Abit NF7-S v2.0, Barton 2800+ (running at 2330Mhz),
1 Gig PC3200.

Just another datapoint for you - dunno if it helps or not. I am also
running Win98SE, with the Omega 4.2 drivers. I have no problem at all
with Jedi Knight Academy, which I am currently playing. I also played
COD with no troubles, but I don't recall what driver version I had at the
time.

I see you have 1GB of RAM. Many people have said they had trouble when
going over 512 on Win98SE. Don't have any first hand experience with
that tho.

Win98SE
9700 non-pro
T-Bred XP2100 (166x13 --> XP2700)
Abit KX7-333R
512 PC2700
