Have you patched your card's drivers yet?
I had some 800's like yours when they first came out, crater to 4 bit colour when in windowed modes.

A visit to ATI's site and a patch later solved the issue.

Ok tried the boot.ini thing, it was messed up.
I did boot once succesfully into 98, then registry checker came on and said there was a problem with the registry and that it would "fix" it.

It sure did... now can't even boot.
When I figure things out I'll post a fix.
