I can sympathize.
I also have Win98, and if you're working with small amounts of footage, try ULead Studios 7. It's OK, but only works in 1024x768.
I can't give you a link, as I got mine from Kazaa, but they have a 30 day trial on their website, whcih should be long enough for at least 1 video...if you work non-stop for at least 2 weeks...
Still, if you want a REALLY good video editor, get XP and find Adobe somewhere. Extortionate but good. Very good.
