Are there any other entries in the Event Log that might be relevant? Any
other errors or warnings? Please post the Event ID, source and description
fields.

IIS on Windows XP (and Windows 2000) uses COM+, and if COM+ is tanking, then
IIS is not going to be able to do everything it's supposed to.

Cheers
Ken
