Try re-registering the system DLL files -
Go to START > RUN and then type:
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
Press Enter. You should see a brief message that the dll has been successfully registered.
Do the same with the following, one at a time, pressing enter after each:
regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll
Then download/install this Microsoft patch, it'll install DLL files that are compatible
with Win98:

Answer YES when prompted to replace a Newer file with an Older version.
