thanks...........i forgot to mention that i cannot find
the administrative tools in the start menu folders. and i
also lost all iis settings. i ran the iis manager and it
is empty - my server is not listed there.

is there a way to reload all my previous settings? i
really don't have the time to config the server once more

thanks
