Use a different screen saver.

Replace the screensaver (SCR) file from the installation CD using SFC to
"extract one file".

Default SCREENSAVER corrupted (win 98)

The Butterfly Oasis Screensaver is 1.98 mb !!
I've replaced him!!!
Beside that I've run somescans:
================================================
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
That claims:

MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime
packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and
don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued
any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised,
however.)
