Try an old wrapper and try rollcage glide
Do you have Rollcage Stage 2 Patch 1.0c ?
try another resolution
do other games work fine ?
Does your card pass all the tests in dxdiag.exe ? (especialy directdraw)
Try this :
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Performance tab, and then click Graphics.
4. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of
None (the Basic acceleration setting).
5. Click OK, and then click OK again.
6. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

I tried openglide and nglide as well. Couldn't get glide mode even started.
I would try another resolution but unfortunately the game starts without the typical options menu where I can choose graphics mode. I click on it and intro begins. At the moment I am back at dx7 and when I start dxdiag it tells me, that there's an error - directdraw - it couldn't analyze display information.

With dx9 dxdiag runs without errors but it results in the error on game crash with ddhelp.

I will try the patch and tell what happens.

Third edit: when I put the slider for graphics acceleration to the left I get an ati driver error after reboot.
BUT! The game runs now... I still don't know what the problem was. But the patch solved it. I thank you so much.

you need a really old wrapper (didnt 98 only support dx 8.1 ?)

Hello. Haven't been able to test so many games yet. But the few i looked at are running well.
I will go on experimenting with wrappers and tell about results. BTW after i tried nglide and openglide rollcage glide mode still can't be started. It says glide3x.dll is missing. I wondered if I have to reinstall the game after the wrapper is installed. So that glide ability can be recognized properly. Will try that this evening. (But direct3d mode looks very nice)
DirectX 9.0c June 2006 is compatible with windows 98.
