"Can't Create ActiveX Object" is a common, generic catch all error report while using 
VBS.  It can mean as little as you need to update your script engine or that your 
script itself is way too wacky to run.  On it's own, that error is not enough to 
mean anything at all.  That's about the end of my VBS knowledge so a forum dealing 
with VBS programming would be the next step.

Keith is quite right in that Windows98 does have Regsvr32.exe but the string he offered 
won't work right unless you quote it so that Run Box interpreter can get across the 
spaces in the "Program Files" and "Common Files" folder names.  Or you can use the 
unquoted short filename version of the same path/filenames like so:
regsvr32 C:\Progra~1\Common~1\System\Ado\msado15.dll
regsvr32 C:\Progra~1\Common~1\System\Ado\msador15.dll

More info on Regsvr32 is here.
