Hi Jeanine,
Shoot the thing. That's what's best sometimes. 8-)
When did these problems start? Did you install any new programs? Did you
open anything received via e-mail?
See if you can back-up any files you may need later.
If you have an anti-virus program, do a thorough scan of your drives.
Run Scan disk on all hard drives and do a surface scan.
Re-run Windows setup from within Win98, this can be easier than using SFC
sometimes.
I hesitate to suggest re-formatting your hard drive and starting over just yet
and I hate to mention defective hdd so won't.
If you don't have any anti-virus software, you can fine many wonderful
programs online. One I like
is InnoculateIT which is free.

These are just suggestions, someone may be of more help to you.
Take Care
