That usually means the first file--D3D8THK.DLL--is expecting the second file--GDI32.DLL--to do something it can't. The fix is to install a newer version of GDI32.DLL.
As near as I can tell, the last 98 MS update for GDI32.DLL is contained in 289635USA8.EXE. You can download it here:
http://ftp.ncnu.edu.tw/cpatch/msupd...
Download and run it and then see if the game works.

There's a newer but unofficial update here:

and instructions/info here:

Try the MS update first. If it doesn't fix the problem try the unofficial one.
