I tried to play trivia in www.owl21.com but it is necessary to install java sun for win98 Just i followed the instructions to do it so the file was in my documents however when I want to open it nothing is in vew to continue the installation. In othe pc with just the same OS it was installed without problem . What could be the problem?

Only thing I can think of is a corrupted download. Try another and ensure it is for W98SE.

Beats me too....

I assume all your other programs (.exe's) run?

Try renaming it to simply jre.exe and have another go at running it.
(just a crazy hunch).
