Tibor,

I removed and reinstalled IIS, removed Com+ and readded it back and
reinstalled the application and still had the same problem...Could not
load ASP pages unless I added IUSR and IWAM accounts to the
Administrator's group. I built a 2nd Win2K server, installed IIS,
installed the application and it works fine. I am now comparing
registry settings and permissions to see if I can find what is
different between the two. Not having much luck so far, but
continuing to try.
