Max Payne lock ups

[Major Kong]

My nephew has installed Max Payne on his computer. The game runs fine but when exiting the PC locks up. I've downloaded and installed the latest patch but it has not helped. Any assistance would be appreciated. Background:
Win98 SE
256 meg Ram
ATI Radeon 32 meg DDR VE
Athlon 800
ASUS K7V w/ onboard sound
30 gig Maxtor HD

Hmm sounds wierd but:

Lockups when quitting game
Is your copy of Max Payne locking up your computer when you quit it? If so, then do this, and you should be fine: Enter the Multimedia properties, change the playback & Recording device to game compatible and also reduce hardware acceleration for the sound card.
