&quot;ActiveX component can't create object.&quot;

-or-

&quot;The process cannot switch to the startup current directory D:\Winnt\system32\. Select OK to set current directory to D:\Winnt, or select Cancel to exit.&quot;

To enable MTS to function properly, verify that the configured Identity has at least Read access in the NTFS permissions for the following folders:
 * The folder in which the DLL is located.
 * The \Winnt folder.
 * The \Winnt\System32 folder.
 * The \Winnt\System32\Mts folder, for the MTS case.
 * The \Program Files\Common Files folder, and all files and subfolders.

Also verify that the configured Identity has the Advanced User Right to &quot;Log on as a Batch Job&quot;. To view the User Rights assignment in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, do the following:
