Visio keeps crashing my system

I have just installed Visio 2002 SR1 on my system, running Win 98SE.
Major problem 1: Many of the modules crash my system - no error message, just everything (including mouse) refuses to work. This happens 1) when double clicking an item to edit it's text and 2) when dragging certain graphics onto a drawing, eg a Milestone onto a timeline. The only solution is to switch off and on again - aaargh!

Less major problem 2: All template previews on the Choose Drawing Type screen are garbled, simply jagged coloured lines. If you browse up and down the list a few times the proper pictures will appear in due course.

Everything else in Office XP and Access 2002 works fine. The installation of Visio was a clean install. I have done a verify and repair, used System File Checker to make sure nothing strange in my system, uninstalled and reinstalled all without success. Has anyone else had this problem - or more importantly solved it?
 
This question may be better asked in the visio forum. Try forum172 as well as here.

FWIW, I have not had any Visio problems, but then again, I'm not trying to use the V2002 on a Win98 machine.
