I just installed a new HD and processor, so had to rebuild my system etc.

I went with the FAT system, and now my ASP apps don't work.

Should I go back and reformat one partition to the NTFS? Or is there something else I could do to fix this?

Thanks.

Well I converted the C drive to NTFS and took all the recommendations from the microsoft site and still no luck.

URL snipped, it's in the profile!

I already installed the OS and my files. Now I was running the ASP program to see if it would work.

HA. Now I'm screwed.

Try creating a web page that looks like this:

<html
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Success
</body>
</html>

and saving that as demo.asp. Then we'll try to debug it.

go to www.URL-in-profile.com/demo.asp

OK it's up.

You can also try the same URL, but the .htm file to see that the site works.

I found this fix somewhere, but it didn't work either:

Only InProc server components should be used. If you want to use
LocalServer components, you must set the AllowOutOfProcCmpnts registry
setting. Please consult the readme file for important considerations.
REASON: This error is the result of a safety mechanism in ASP that prevents
the launching of LocalServer components.

To override this safety mechanism, you must set the AllowOutOfProcCmpnts
registry value to 1. This registry value is located at the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\W3SVC
\ASP
\Parameters

SOLUTION: Use the following steps to change this value:

Select Run from the Start menu.
Type "regedit" into the Open window.
Navigate to the path defined above.
Double-click on the AllowOutOfProcCmpnts value and change the value to 1.

There was no key for "Allow.." so I added one, but it didn't affect anything.

Okay, if that simple page didn't load, you've got some serious problems. First check the event log and see if any error show up when you hit that page. If so then post the results here and let us know what it says.

Second. If nothing obvious shows up there, then uninstall, reboot, then reinstall IIS. You do that from the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.

The problem is probably that it can't run ASP.DLL for some reason.

Here is the error from the log:
The COM Application '{3D14228D-FBE1-11dO-995D-00C04FD919C1}' at '/LM/W3SVC/3?Root' failed to activate out of process.

I'll try the uninstall/reinstall of IIS also.

XOC: You da man!

I uninstalled/reinstalled IIS and that did the trick.

To all: thank you for staying up with me late last night. The converting to NTFS helped, and the uninstall/reinstall of IIS helped as well.

You can see what I'm up to:

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
