That s because you didn't set the proper drive Magic Engine must use in pce.ini.

Just open up "Pce.ini" (located in the same folder as Magic Engine) with wordpad.
And just add the needed info:
| Code: | # ----
# CD-ROM settings
# ----
[cdrom]
;
; CD-ROM drive
; --
; 0 -> first CD-ROM drive [default]
; 1 -> second CD-ROM drive
; ...
;
drive= Add correct value here
;
; CD-ROM drive letter
; --
; (Windows 2000/XP only)
;
; D:
; E:
; ...
;
drive_letter= Add correct letter here
|
If you add a WRONG value , then yes Magic Engine will freeze when you ll try to boot a cd.

| You shouldn't use both options simultaneously. Since you're running Win98, set the first option only (drive= ). NOT the second option (drive_letter= ). |
