I have run MM7 on W98SE all the time - until my CD1 broke - and I have experienced no problems. I agree with Knight, the problem will be related to your video card. But I don't think the problem is caused by an unsufficient video card, quite the opposite MM7 runs smoothly even on Riva TNT2 Ultra with 32 MB RAM.1. Check the video settings. Is your video card recognized correctly?
2. Try "software mode". Does the game run fullscreen?
3. What about your OpenGL settings? MM7 uses OpenGL graphics.
4. DirectX? It is known that MM7 runs well with DirectX 7. It is also known that particular versions of DirectX are incompatible among itself. IIRC, the game runs with DirectX 8, too, but I have no experience with MM7 and DirectX 9.
