does it try to install a new DirectX? If so it is quite strange, some times I
did try to install older (or not new) versions of DirectX and often I was
getting the message like: "your machine does not need an upgrade of the video
driver". Either this is a Microsoft (yet again) bug in the DirectX procedure, or
there was something strange happening.

On the other side if it was just a wrong/old driver, reinstalling the new one
does prevent CM7K from working properly?

In any case I suggest you to do this:
- open the Start-Find panel of Windows9x
- search for all .dll files and look for duplicate names (you should be able to
spot files that are in two locations and with the same name)
- if you find any keep only the most recent one and keep it in the
windows/system folder (neglect duplicates in the sysbackup folder)

there are also software that do this job for you
