I would get newest Detonater driver: Win2K-XP_23.11.exe.

you can disable the intro movies in serveral ways including i think deleting them

and the way i did it was to add:
+set cl_playintro 0
to the shortcut

Why it crashes i dunno, for me i have to had to turn my windows paging file back on in XP to play moh or it crashed, but for you I dunno i remember a lot of crashes happened to me when i had Win98 and i could never stop them.
