Answer
Hi

Can you check the permission on IIS and also do the following


1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.

2. Look in the system log for an error. The log entry will contain an Event ID number that you can use to determine the source of the problem.

3. After you find the Event ID, search Microsoft's knowledge base for "Event ID xx" where xx is the event ID number from the Event Viewer:
