Enay,

Do other 3d programs work? Games etc ...? Do DXDiag tests ?work

I had problems like this back in the day on Win98.
Here is what I did:

1) Restart computer in safe mode (F8 on bootup)
2) Un-install Nvidia drivers.
3) Select standard VGA as your display adapter.
4) Re-start normally. On boot up DO NOT re-install nvidia drivers.
5) Download and use Detonator destroyer.
6) Re-boot again.
7) Install latest Win98 Nvidia drivers.
8) Should be good to go ...

This has worked for me many times.

PS: Make sure that the 3D scene you are trying to create is within the meory limits of your GFX card. ie. don't try to create a 1600X1200 32 bit screen if GFX card has only 32mb of memory. Also don't create a scene that is not supported by your card (check supported modes in driver tab.)

If you need any further clarification let me know.
