This might be caused by a couple of things, most likely, it's a crappy version of IE... I think 98 came with IE4, which wasn't all that great. Update that to the most recent version, either 5.5 or 6.0. If that doesn't work, use the excellent http://www.mozilla.org

The problem isn't going to be the cd drive, if it even is hardware related, it's going to be a problem with the controller for your cd drive and hard drives, which is a pain to replace.

Give my suggestion a go, and I reckon you'll be in business.
