Hello All,

IIS used to work fine but then I rebuilt my machine with XP Pro
(2002). I thought some setting were altered by installing Baseline
Security Analyser or perhaps the IIS lockdown tool. Today I've given
up, and reinstalled XP Pro (2002). I then installed IIS and all the
sub-components. I can do a iisreset /restart and ping localhost but
that's it. When I nav to //localhost or /localhost/iishelp I get the
following error message:

The page cannot be displayed
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer

Like I say the machine has just been rebuilt from scratch.

Please help!!!!!!!!! I'm loosing it here!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Noodle
