integrated Sound compatibility

I have installed an Intel MoBo D845GBV,with a P4 1.7ghz CPU.When I tried to activate the sound driver,supplied on CD by Intel, I was given a message that my OS (Win 98 first ver.)was NOT supported by the driver software.Is there any solution short of buying a new OS or third party sound card. Thank you for considering my problem.
