Crashing on W98 - illegal operation

[tomoy]

I'm getting a freeze / crash after the Initializing screen. It looks like it makes it past all of the fonts. Then the splash screen disappears, but nothing else....

"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program Vendor.

FILEMAKER PRO caused an invalid page fault in

module DDRAW.DLL at 017f:031b9d4a.

Registers:...."

Before I go rebuilding that machine, I thought I'd check to see if anyone had any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

It may be too obvious, but have you tried to re-install Filemaker? I'd start there.

Sadly, I have already tried reinstalling (twice). I should have written that. Actually, when I let Norton CrashGuard run, it'll 'revive' FMP once, but subsequent launchings fail.

To clarify, I've tried both installing and running without any other programs running, and also with a normal complement of Norton System Works 2001 running.
