Is this what you meant to post?
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1211904346

I thought not.
At the bottom of the page where it says
Don't use this option unless you really need it,
it should say "Don't click this if you have formatted your own post as HTML".

I suggest you DO tick that
and make sure the **No preview** box near the bottom of this page
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/config
is NOT ticked.
(The Webmaster's defaults are REALLY stupid.)

|it crashes with an error "Insufficient memory to initialize Windows[...]"

|I have 2 Gb[1] DDR2 RAM.

When you scroll down to the chart, you will notice that you are OFF THE CHART.

I'll bet a (free) copy of Ubuntu Linux
would be a nicer (certainly more secure) install on this box.
