Try the following and it should clear things up.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock

How do you KNOW that.
 
Well the "Bink player" problem has nothing to do with the playing of the intro videos.
The problem manifests itself after the intro videos, the problem is that on some combinations of hardware/software it does not unload itself from memory properly, I am sure you can see how messed up memory could cause all sorts of problems and at any time during game play from right at the opening menu to well into the game.

VIA drivers are also known to be buggy.

In addition Win98 is no longer a supported product for Microsoft so nothing new is 100% safe to use with it.
 
well I would not put it past Microsoft to put code in the new Dx to make it not compatible with a product they no longer support, in order to force people to upgrade.
 
Well the general rule with Video drivers is to not update them until or unless you run in to a problem.
