I haven't seen a CTX monitor in years so I would say it's pretty old. It is getting
weak and at some point will blow out if it's doing that. The more electrons it has
to throw at the screen (to fill the screen with light) the more demand on the circuits
or CRT tube. Instability results and it can wobble or fluctuate with a "beat"..
Time to replace it I would say, but probably the whole computer at some point as
Win 98 is or is close to being unsupported and your machine probably won't handle
XP or the new operating system that should be coming out early next year.
As for second part of your question. Not quite sure what you are wanting to know.
NTFS can't written read from Win 9X or Linux so you are stuck with Win 9X depending
on your needs. The monitor you can replace easily, the computer is another story
however...
