First off, how full is you Hard Drive? Windows defaults to using your main HD as the virtual memory drive, and if you don't have enough free space on the drive then windows has nothing to work with.
To check the Vmem, goto
control panel\system\advanced\performance\settings\advanced\Vmem
If you have plenty of HD space you can try setting the amount of Vmem manually, instead of letting windows do it for you. Win98 is horrible with Vmem control, so this might not be a bad idea. The best thing is to have it on a separate HD than the OS and programs.
edit:
I just realized that the path I gave for the Vmem is for XP and not 98, but it should be similar if not the same.
