This issue can occur when the IOSubsys folder is damaged.

To resolve this issue, rename the IOSubsys folder, and then reinstall Windows 98 To do this, follow these steps:

1 Insert a Windows 98 Startup disk, and then restart the computer to a command prompt.

2 At the command prompt, type c:, and then press ENTER.

3 Type cd\Windows\system, and then press ENTER.

4 Type ren iosubsys iosubold, and then press ENTER.

5 Reinstall the version of Microsoft Windows you are running

Hope this will help.
