I have some problems running those too with 98SE and a SBlive. I don't
know what happened but they used to work perfectly in the past. I think
it's because of the DirectX updates applied over time. That's my WAG.

But I really haven't spent a lot of time trying to remedy the problem
lately. Seems like last time I twiddled with some settings and got it to
go after a while.
