I'm not shure what have you tried so far BUT you could try the following:

Install Python 2.4
Install wxPython 2.5.3.1unicode version
(http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#binaries)

download and try GvR, source version

try providing us with a traceback from the program if possible.

My guess so far is that you might have a problem due to Win98 poor support for unicode but I could be mistaken.
