Scanreg shouldn't be running its the DOS program that restores the registry. Have you run Msconfig in Safe Mode? This will tell you what is running on startup. The only two things you need running for Windows to operate is Explorer and SysTray. By default Win98 only makes 5 backups for the registry that you can restore. If you want to make more then just open C:\Windows\Scanreg.ini with NotePad and in MaxBackupCopies=5 just change it to the number of backups you want to store. Mine is set to 14 but the only problem with this is you don't see 14 backup dates, you only see 6 or 7. But you could always startup in Safe Mode and move some of the rb000.cab files you don't need to another folder.
