Answer 1

It must be the driver for your sound card. But you have to come up with more details than this. Go to Contrl Panel->System->Device Manager (If I remember Win 98 correctly) and see if there's a yellow circle with a black question mark in it on the left of your sound device or if there's a red 'X' mark. If it's a red one, then your sound card must have been disabled for some reason. You'll have to go into it's property window and disable it. If it's a yellow one, then you're sound card is not functioning properly, which could be due to a number of reasons. One is a hardware conflict. The second is that your sound card's driver has been removed. You'll have to figure that out or give us more info on it. If your sound device is not even in the device manager list, it has been removed from your system. If that is the case, try using the Add New Hardware wizard to fix the problem.

Answer 2

poke around control panel / sounds and audio devices, and / or go to hardware manager [my computer, right-click, properties] and look for same: sounds and audio devices. most likely you are missing a sound driver.
