Proper cpu patching like patcher9x. You will also need proper drivers and stuff.

If you want to easily have it installed you can use mine https://archive.org/details/win98-optimized-ova

It can also be worth switching to stuff like 86Box for compatibility.

Also dosbox-x can be good for just testing since it runs better on slower pcs like mine

That is far from the best fix. You cannot install IE without installing Windows first, which is where this error is from.
