This is a screen driver bug.  You'll most likely have to update the
drivers to the latest version from the vendor.  In some cases turning
acceleration to its lowest level in the System and/or Display control
panels will also work around the problem, but in some other cases (and
Dells that shipped with Windows 98 are among the worst in this
respect) the only reliable solution is to get a newer (and better)
graphics card.
