why have you installed windows in the e drive? to me that's a problem
many older games and os'es had problems when starting or working on other drives

I was originally going to do a dual-boot setup, but that perhaps isn't the best idea. I should note that the computer only has one physical drive with three partitions.

then the best approach would be to make the c drive to be for windows 98se, and any other drive letter for another os

both the games in question hung up at the main menu with music playing in the background.

Are these games super rare or naughty, or what's the reason for not telling us the names of them? It's not really possible to help you if you don't tell us which games are actually causing problems. There are quite a few games that come into my mind that don't work with a Voodoo3 unless patched, NFS3 and NFS4 for example. They behave exactly as you described. So what are the games?

The two games in question, that I've tried so far, anyways, are Frogger, and Rogue Squadron.
