It's definitely something in your httpd.conf file that's causing Apache not to
launch correctly.  Since you're running on Windows 98, there are no file
permissions to set or check, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Which version of Apache is this?

Do you have a ServerName directive in httpd.conf that's set to either
localhost or your domain name?

Does C:/apache exist?

Do the DLL files that PHP can't find exist in the proper paths?

If you keep getting errors, I'd make a copy of httpd.conf, reinstall Apache
and PHP, and add configuration directives one at a time until you figure out
what the problem is.  I've found that to be the best way of debugging Apache
configuration issues.
