GPL Crashes in Win98

GPL crashes (GPF in GPL.EXE) constantly under win98.

Using a Creative Voodoo2/12mb on a P2/333 with 128mb RAM.  Anyone got any
hint as to what I might do to fix this?

This is from my earlier post for GPL lockup with Direct X6. It may be DX6
problem and not W98.
I have W98 and DX6 and this worked for me .

Thanks to other posts (and M. Carver) I think I fixed my screen lockups in
GPL with Direct X6 and Monster 3D 2 (or other V2 cards).
Seems that DirectX6 (that is needed for new games) replaces the V2 glide
files with new ones that have problems with GPL.
I just downloaded the rkv2.exe (reference V2 driver files) file from here
http://www.3dfx.com/software/RkV2.exe
, unzipped it to a temp folder(dont install) and place the following files
in the main GPL directory.
glide2x.dll
glide3x.dll
glide2x.ovl
Then GPL will use these files and other games will use the glide files in
the Windows directory.

I fixed it.  The problem was actually with win98.  It seems that win98
doesn't much appreciate the use of himem.sys and emm386.exe in the
config.sys file.  Once I REM'd out those two lines, everything was fine.
