Are you using a McAfee or Norton AV product? If so, disable it and see
if that helps.

I had the problem of the Windows startup wav file stuttering
at startup but it was OK after that.
I fixed the problem the re-enabling DMA on the Hard Drive.
Somehow, after I went to the Windows update site and
downloaded the latest patches for Win98SE that check mark
somehow got removed. It remained on my CD / DVD Drives though.
