You have loaded Windows 98, but you haven't loaded any device drivers for your system. Windows 98 is simply using basic, generic device drivers to run your system with.
Specifically you need motherboard drivers, audio drivers and display drivers for the system to operate as it should.
If there's a make and model number for that PC of yours that you can determine, pay a visit to the Support section of the manufacturer's website and see if you can find any device drivers there available for download.

The brand isn't the important bit really- what we would need to know in order to help you get the drivers is the make and model of motherboard and/or specific information about the hardware devices (sound and video chipsets, for example) you're having trouble with.

You'll find all the drivers you need at this page of HP's download section:
