I would go with formatting fresh and installing xp as well.
I have noticed on numerous family computers xp being more stable. For example a single app crashing and not bringing down the whole system.
Plus in all these months of using it I have had one lockup with icq, all the other apps and games have worked perfectly.
And based on all the sources I have seen I think xp is considered more stable than win98.
Sometimes people just have bad luck with configurations and are fucked though. Parts don't agree for whatever reason.
