ASP hangs on production server

I just moved my site from NT4 IIS 4, to server 2000 with IIS 5. No code was intentially edited, but the ASP is failing. After alot of monitoring here's what I have:
Event Viewer shows perflib errors for MSSCNTRS and "Out-of-process application terminated unexpectantly" for an ASP application that is running at high protection (isolated).(It uses ODBC to pull data from SQLserver. Yes, all connections are closed and set to nothing.)
IIS stops responding (the service is not stopped). If given time, the Web, FTP, & SMTP services stop and restart themselves.
Performance monitor shows an odd pattern for "ASP requests queued". Within a few hours of reboot, ASP requests queued jumps from 0 to about 15, and stays there for many hours. Then it drops to 0 before or during the hangup.
What would hold open the ASP's in queue? Any advice is much appreciated.
 
Have you tried to set protected level to Medium (Pooled)?
 
I can only point you towards the IIS forum (forum41) - presumably the folks there know a bit more about IIS debugging :)

good luck


Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
 
I switched the protection level to medium, which sort of helps. The problem application remains functional for a much longer period (24 hours or so). Of course, now when it hangs up, the whole site quits working (all the pages are asp except the home page). Can anyone explain why medium protection would take longer to hang up?

I'm slowly tweaking settings, applying patches, and fixing perflib errors. Now the main issue seems to be a 500 server error that states:
Microsoft "ODBC_Microsoft_Access_Driver"_Cannot_open_a_database_created_with_a_previous_version_of_your_application...

While the main purpose of the application is to query a SQLserver, there is a menu that is generated from a query against an mdb file. It was version 97, so I've converted it to 2000 and am waiting to see what happens. Would MDAC 2.7 refresh have an issue with reading a version 97 mdb?
