COMP ILLITERATE! "500 Internal Server Error" message.. help!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.inetserver.iis,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Post the complete error message, please.

Are you using IIS, since you crossposted to the IIS newsgroup?

Is the machine up-to-date at Windows Update? Is this a sudden, new problem
or an ongoing one?

Anything wrong with posting via your newsreader, whether using your
ISP-provided newsserver or the free (no subscriptions or passwords)
Microsoft newsserver (e.g., news://msnews.microsoft.com,
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general)?
