Author Default Site & Application Pool / ASP.NET security problems

Hi,

The problem i'm seeing seems to exist only with the Default Web Site and
Default App Pool. Earlier today, we installed MS Project Server 2003, and
had Sharepoint extend the default Web Site. Since then our two ASPNET
applications running, plus WSUS, have stopped working; throwing a .NET
exception. I tried uninstalling ASP.NET and reinstalling, but that didn't
seem to work... in the workaround I found was to create a new App Pool, new
Web site, and forward the old virtual directories to the new one in the new
web site. Anyways, i want to fix this so i can switch them back to the old
ways, and was hoping someone could provide some direction, as i've tried
everything i could think of. Sharepoint has these two paths excluded, so
AFAIK it shouldn't be interferring.

This is the error our ASP.NET apps were throwing:
"Runtime error Parser Error Message: Required permissions cannot be
acquired." +machine.config line 258

Windows Server 2003 SP1
..NET 1.1

I should add that Anonymous access was turned off for these virtual
directories during Project install, so i had to re-enable it and i'm guessing
that changed something too.

Furthermore, these apps reference a SQL Server db on the same server, and
both App Pools run under the Network Service identity.
