I've had trouble getting the extensions directory recognized under Win98. Instead, I have set it to empty string and copied the extension DLL into the \windows\system directory.
If you still have trouble (and you're using PHP4.04) then copy libsasl.dll into \windows\system as well. Not sure what this does, but it appears to be needed such that extensions load correctly.
