Cannot Update Windows 98- says I am not Administrator

Please help. I am running windows 98 and when I try to update it comes up
with page that says Administrator Only and wants me to log in as an
administrator. Since I am running on 98 there are no instructions on how to
do that. I created a profile with my administrator and login for my home
network, but it is still not recognizing me as administrator. How can I fix
this problem? Also, I can't get my McAfee antivirus to work, but I ran it
off a an emergency boot disk and it did not find a virus. Also ran
anti-spyware and nothing came up. So I don't think that is the problem. Can
someone please help? Thanks.

There is no such thing as an Administrator for Win98.

ActiveX controls may not load as expected in Internet Explorer due to
defense in depth changes introduced in cumulative security update 896688
(MS05-052)
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=909889

A Web page that contains a custom ActiveX control may not load as expected
in Internet Explorer due to defense in depth changes introduced in
cumulative security update 896688 (MS05-052)
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=909738

The fix detailed in 909889 involving the Registry and OLE32.DLL is available
at

- http://patch-info.de/IE/Downloads/OLEfix.zip, and

- http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/kb896688_fix.zip (a small VB app that
checks the 4 values and offers a repair option if any of them are
incorrect).

The fix referenced above should resolve the problem, Charlotte.
