First have you gone to Microsoft's windows update site and downloaded the library's path and the other Critical and recommended patches.

Virtual Machine and the Library patch are the most critical to download to help get rid of this and other errors.

One other thing if after you install all these patches and the errors keep coming back then you have installed an optimization program that is not fully compatible with the rest of your setup.

A clean install will eliminate this error 98% of the time.

Personal findings for everyone involved in the same boat.

Never install 3rd party optimization programs in your computer, they cause all kinds of glitches to windows. Always from a clean install, install 1 program at a time, test for problems then patch if necessary, move to next one.

Sorry for the lecture post.

Right, but this is from a totaly clean win98 install. only thing I added this time was Dragon and it still does it. gotta be the mother board right?

You may have 2 or more hardware drivers clashing when those particular devices are trying to use the same resources. I don't know without knowing the specific errors and hardware installed.

Okay, whenever I run like midtown madness, half life, or even things like Dragon naturallys speaking my computer will play them for a while and then either just flip back to win98 screen or give me an error message...something like rundll error or something. I ablolutly know that it is not my programs. and it is not windows. My memory has been tested and I have an 8meg video card. I think it is the motherboard but I need to know. My computer is still under warranty and I sent it in to the supplier but their tech say that he can't find anything wrong. Says he can't reproduce the problem or something! I couldn't get it to stop! any ideas?

Make sure you have enough conventional memory -if not, try to free some up. Also try turning off your soundblaster-type sound effects - if that works, there's your problem.
