Get a modern Outlook version is the best advice I can give. OL98 is old, insecure, and unsupported, even by most MVPs. We gave up on OL 97/98 as soon as possible.

After furious head scratching, JJM0926 asked:

| When I try to reply or forward certain messages my Outlook 98
| crashes. Then it takes forever for it to restart. It's not happening
| to all my messages just a few certain ones. I have uninstalled
| reinstalled and still does not work. There has been a few sites that
| suggested to remove com add-ins which I have done. Still does the
| same thing. It's just a few messages that this is happening to--I can
| resply and forward fine with all other messages. Anyone have any
| other ideas? Thanks.
