"A page can have only one server-side Form tag." when NONE exist!

[ScottF]

There was a problem with ASP.Net 1.1 creating/generating bad
javascript on html pages that I ran into and on the KB page that I had
found at the time it said that the problem was fixed in the .Net
Framework 1.1 SP 1.

So, I ran "NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe" thus installing that SP and now
I'm getting this very strange "A page can have only one server-side
Form tag." error and am wondering if anyone knows how to fix it. The
thing is, I commented out ALL of the <form> tags on my main
(Default.aspx) page and I STILL get this @#$#en error.

I have no clue what to do now because this error makes absolutely no
sense. Should I uninstall the SP, or... ? The text version of the
error page I'm getting is;

Server Error in '/PTa01' Application.

Notice how my page (again, Default.aspx) isn't even mentioned in the
call stack.

ANY help/ideas appreciated!!
Thanks!

Well, you do need a Form tag. <grin>

Did the sp require a reboot?

Is it possible that this is somehow related to the problem in the files in
the aspnet_client folder in the service pack?
