Dear Paul,
Most likely, a DLL was overwritten with either an older or newer
version which doesn't work with Groove or FrameMaker. You can try
uninstalling Rogue Spear. You may need to uninstall all three, and
then reinstall them, probably doing Rogue Spear first.
Windows 98 commonly has shutdown problems. Microsoft has
some patches that address this, as well as other patches which you
should apply anyway. Check Microsoft's Win98 WWW site, currently at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/default.asp
Hope this helps,
