I used to get the same error when i tried to run the game without setting the sound environment(ie SET BLASTER line within my autoexec)
Anyway did you try Dosbox? What are your computer specs? |

You could try Dosbox, but i think the game will run choppy on your comp.
Wait and see what the dosbox experts have to say |

Since you are running Win98 I suggest you look here first at the quoted guide at the end of the second post for tips about how to configure your autoexec.bat and config.sys so you can play old games.
