winpdb seems to be looking for an environment variable (APPDATA) that is not supported on Win 98. As a workaround you could replace line 606 in C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\winpdb.py which says
if os.name == 'nt':
with
if os.name == 'nt' and os.environ.has_key('APPDATA'):
This will make winpdb create its settings file in the current directory with the name winpdb_settings.cfg.
Reporting this as a bug on SourceForge is also a good idea.

Thanks Kent,
Worked like a chanp! Thanks so much for the help.
I will report the "bug" to SourceForge once they send me an account login.
