Richard,
Here are the exact things I did prior to this problem.
1. Install SP2 for SQL Server 2K
2. D/L and run IISLockdown
3. IISLockdown crashes give a c++ error code.
4. Try to run IISLockdown to uninstall changes it gives
error.
5. Restart.

The only bright spot is that the websites are active.
Only thing I can think of doing is resetting file
permissions, but will have to do it from command prompt
because I cannot login under any username(admin included).
Any help or pointers is appreciated.

Hank
