Hi Patrick

Thanks for your response.

> What were you trying to do when you got the ERROR?

Open an existing ASP.net application first thing in the morning. This app
was being worked on without incident the day/night before..
When that didn't work i tried creating a new ASP.net application. In both
instances i got an "Server Internal 500 error"
Looking in the event logs gave me the error message i posted.

Thanks
Richard
