Hi Folks:
I have a similar problem to what has been described in these threads.
System: xp pro, IIS 5.1.
My troubles started when I brought home some asp/html code from work and installed IIS on my xp box.
did not work at all and 'xxx.xxx.x.xxx/default.asp' returned 'Page not found'.
Finally was able to determine that something was tying up port 80 and if I tweaked the iis console and added 'xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080/test.html' to the equation, the html worked, but the asp did not.
Then I read after a Google search, that NTFS permissions may be the culprit.
Found an article '271071-How To: Set Basic NTFS Permissions for IIS 5.0' and after applying, thats when my troubles started.
First, Norton Utilities could not run the Recycle Bin Protected Files, 'Drive C Access Denied', then other things started cropping up, like NTBACKUP started getting Volume Shadow Copy errors and refused to run, COM+ errors started to show up in Event Viewer similar to what has been described here.
Sorry it took so long to get here, but my question is: Since no new threads have been posted since Feb 18, 2004, is SemperFiDownUnder's answer to fix WiseNewbie's problem by reinstalling xp over the existing xp, the best way to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for replying
