I turned off suspend mode, and doze mode in the BIOS. I also configured Control panel -> power management to "ALWAYS ON"

Can anyone help me? I'm running the following system: AMD k6-2 500 FIC PAG 2130 motherboard VIA VT8501 Chipset) VT82C686A onboard sound chip (disabled) Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128 GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 256 MB SDRAM WinDoze 98 SE Detonators 23.10 DirectX 8.0a I got the latest 4-in-1's installed...
