Sounds like the common service shared by WWW, SMTP, and FTP -- IISADMIN --
has issues.

What happens when you try to start the "IIS Admin Service".

Can you report the filesize of this file:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\inetsrv\metabase.bin

Hi,
Recently I did windows update on my machine. After the update, I am not able
to start  World wide web publishing services, SMTP and FTP. When I try to
start WWW, it gives me error as follows.
Could not start the world wide web publishing service on local computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an internal windows error
or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system
administrator.
I am getting the same error when I tried to start SMTP and FTP.
I am using windows 2000 Prof. operating system.
How do I fix them. Please Help Me.
Thanks,
JP
