Frank,
Sure enough, I dug a little deeper, after not
locating "OleMainThreadWndName" as an app: it seems it IS
a .dll issue:
Windows 98 Version 4.10.1998
IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff7a379.
Registers:
EAX=0142423c CS=0177 EIP=bff7a379 EFLGS=00010206

EDX=d1f19da0 ES=017f EDI=026f2060 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:

I've seen a lot of other threads regarding this problem
and will look at those for some cures.
Thanks again!

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.
If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.
If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
