Hey bro, welcome to the forums. :) I'm not trying to sound condescending on pupose or anything, but if you can't even sign up for the Gearbox forums, I'm not sure how much success you'll experience using the HEK. That's an honest thought right there, not trying to be mean or anything. Making maps for Halo is a fair bit more complicated than what people expect. It's not like building a map for a RTS game or something... But if you're determined, by all means, forge on ahead.
Also, you're not getting any responses here because there are a select few people who visit this forum who even know what Halo Custom Edition is, much less what the HEK is. Hell, I play Halo CE almost every day and I still haven't bothered with the HEK. Even fewer of the people here have experienced the problem you are experiencing, because Windows 98 is relatively rare amongst gamers nowadays. I think you were on the right track with the Gearbox forums. Make sure your cookies are enabled for that address and try signing up again.
But who knows, there may be someone out there still that knows the answer to your question. This is just to let you know why you're not getting burried with replies. :)
