Win98 games problems

I installed Win98 on a new build. Everything's fine. A few weeks later, I went back and installed the Games portion under "Accessories". I thought everythign went smoothly there too until I started to get some odd problems. For example, when you run FreeCell, the game screen opens normally, but when you select "New Game", the board goes 3/4 white and I have to exit out. I have had problems with Hearts and Solitaire also. When I launch a new game of Solitare, I get this error:

SOL caused a segment not present fault
in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:00000c2b.
Registers:

I have tried to reinstall the Accessories portion over the top of the existing, with no avail. None of the other Win98 stuff seems to be having any problems. It is starting to drive me a little crazy. Anybody have any ideas?

Haven't seen that one before... Sounds like you may want to uninstall the games, run a virus and spyware checker, then reinstall.

Solitaire is also famous for not getting along with Logitech's Mouseware drivers. If you have fancy mice/keyboards (optical/or wireless) you can try different drivers - or just uninstall the manufacturer's drivers & use the support built into Win98. Some folks find that disabling the driver point32.exe (for MS mice) helps. If this doesn't apply to your system, nevermind.

Here are some other FreeCell & Solitaire related links:
