This could be so many different things.

What errors are being reported in the event logs?

I agree, this can be numerous things. But to start with I would look at these first.
What kind of account is being logged in, does it have permissions?
Is there any software restriction policies in place?
have you checked the system for SpyWare, MalWare, or Viri?
have you tried logging on as a different user, and if so, was the problem still there?
have you tried logging on as Administrator?
Did you try to repair the OS?
Please send more details

One other thing on a dual boot system software installed on one boot partition will not show up on the other. But why have 98 and XP on one system? XP will run any thing 98 could.
