On my win2K machine I have in that key
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Devicemap\SerialComm) two string values
named \Device\Serial0 and \Device\Serial1 that have values COM1 and
COM2.

I do not see anything like that in a Win98 machine. Setting the window
version to win98 is another thing you can try to run your program.
