I am having the SAME EXACT problem since Sunday, Jan 9.

I am running Windows XP SP2 fully patched w/SQL Server 2000 SP3

- It only does this if I resave an aspx file. It does not occur on loading
the first instance of the file, but if I change anything in the aspx and
resave, then IIS will hang when I try to load in internet explorer. This
happens without having to recompile. The site works fine if I recompile and
reload (as long as I do not change any text in the aspx file). If the ASPX
is changed in any way (even with notepad) IIS hangs and eventually
everything on the box hangs and i have to do hard reset and cold boot.
- It puts nothing in the event viewer. I have left for up to 15 minutes and
still in hang state.

I thought somehow I corrupted the installation of Windows/IIS/.NET
Framework/ASP .NET so I spent all last night rebuilding the box.

So, this problem is not confined to .NET 2.0 / SQL Server 2005, but the
timeframe in which this occurred is the same. Maybe one of the new
Microsoft patches that corrupted something important? When I reinstalled I
was so tired that I inadvertntly patched the box
with all of the MS critical patches, and so, this morning, with a fresh
patched installation of everything (zero errors during any of the installs),
I am in the same state that I have been since Sunday.

Prior to Sunday everything was working fine.

Any help????
