An object call caused an exception

[tgentry]

I am periodicly getting this in my WinNT application event log and at the same time the web site goes down:

[tt]An object call caused an exception. (IID: {51372AEF-CAE7-11CF-BE81-00AA00A2FA25}) (Method: 3) (Microsoft Transaction Server Internals Information: File: i:\viper\src\runtime\mtxex\activity.cpp, Line: 889) (Exception: C00000FD) (Address: 0x680e3457)
asp + 0x33457
asp + 0x2370B
asp!TerminateExtension + 0x7C34
asp + 0x32C7A
mtxex!MTSCreateActivity + 0x1F3C
mtxex!MTSCreateActivity + 0xF3E[/tt]

It is normally accomplied by another event log that does not seem to effect the web site:

[tt]Error: Error while reading default settings. please do regsvr32 asp.dll[/tt]

When I run regsvr32 asp.dll, I get some kind of invalid executable file error. I also get this error when I type in the full path name.

I am running Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4.

Thanks for any help that can be given.

Did you get a resolution to this problem?

I am suffering from a similar event with different address and stack call.

The viper code that you are getting is most likely related to an illegal action that your component is performing. Read this Q article. It's a real useful resource.

It was determined that we were not closing all the connections in our ASP page and that was causing connection creep. When we correct that problem, it corrected this one as well.
