In my experience, the patch name data in the desktop Evolver (at least the factory patches) never really "retrieves" right. I suspect it's because most of the patches don't have proper names in their data.
I manually entered made-up names via SoundTower for them all (tedious!) but after that it worked fine.

Can't help you with your other issues. I'm sure others have said it before, but...Windows 98 is 10 years old. Windows XP is pretty good...
