I'd reboot the machine to be sure, but it is also possible, even though we tried, that we no longer properly support Win98 -- it isn't so easy with all the new VSS code we have added. I personally no longer have a Win98 system on which I can test. Perhaps Thorsten would have some comments ...
If you can afford the upgrade, I would *highly* recommend upgrading to WinXP Home (or Pro) both of which are much better than Win98 in terms of stability.
