Microsoft has this to say:
Regional Settings Date/Time Picker: If Regional Settings in the control panel is set to use two-digit years, then the date/time picker function may not return the proper date Only two digits are accepted at a time To ensure proper handling of dates, the user can either set Regional Settings to four-digit date handling or download the Windows 98 Year 2000 Update

INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS 98 YEAR 2000 UPDATES
Windows 98 users:
Please start the Windows Update service from the link on the Start menu This will prompt you to install the appropriate year 2000 updates for your Windows 98 system
