It's difficult to say for sure what is wrong, but try a simple test.

Navigate to the following folder
   C:\inetpub\wwwroot

Add a new folder and name it TestASP

Put any sample ASP page(s) in that folder.  If you need an example,
then download my datasheet example from my site
 http://c1082797-a.aurora1.co.home.com/datafast/articles/dsexample1.htm

You may need to set permissions on something ... but I forget how it
works in Win 98.  If you use my example code, then you can test it
by pointing your browser to the following link (same on ALL machines)

http://localhost/TestASP/EditAuthors.asp

Not sure if this will solve your problems, but it should give you something
new to try.  I wouldn't worry about the MTS error messages.  Win 98
doesn't have MTS so of course it will error out.  I vaguely remember the
same messages when I last installed on Win 98, and it didn't interfere
with my ASP stuff.
