It looks like our new screensaver doesn't work on Win98. The only workaround I can offer you right now is to downlaod the old graphics and use it with an own app_info.xml.
We had some problems with the old code, in particular false positive virus detection by Symantec, which was causing terminated tasks.
Actually we have our hands full with some really urgent things, I'm not sure when we'll be able to work on this a little more. At first glance it looks like a problem with the SDL compilation. Maybe a volunteer could take the current screensaver code and tell us how to build a binary that would work on both Win98 and 2k/XP/Vista.
Best,
