Could not find schema messages won't display aspx pages

[amir]

Hi,

When compiling a page in VS2005 this morning I received 101 messages
regarding schema problems in my web.config file.

When I go to view an aspx page in my IIS, IE just displays a blank
page.

I have the June Atlas CTP installed.

I'd not encountered any such problems just the day before & hadn't
altered the web.config file.

This is extremely irritating, as I am unable to test or create any new
pages - I would appreciate if you could assist in some way.

Example description of message:

Could not find schema information for the element
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0:configuration'

removing this reference in <configuration xmlns, produces different
warnings, including: 'The 'requirePermission' attribute is not
declared'

and
Could not find schema information for the element 'microsoft.web'.

my config file below:

Nevermind.
VS2005 had created an app_offline.htm in the root of my site, which
caused the problem.

Bit dodgy though, when I opened this file it launched VS repeatedly - I
had to kill the program from Task Manager
