Wierd error (web server not running 1.1)

[VB Programmer]

I have both ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 on my system. Most of my sites are 1.1.

All of a sudden when I load any solution I get this error:

VS.NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET
v1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET web applications or services.

When I check IIS, under "Web Sites", there is a ERROR stop sign icon next to
"Default Web Site (Stopped)". When I click on it and hit the "play"/start
button I get this error:

Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred.

Any ideas what's going on and how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Try using the following command:

c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

It will make framework v1.1 active.

HTH,

I tried it but I get the same error. In IIS all the websites show up as
regular yellow folders now. Any ideas? Thanks.

You state that the Default Website has an error icon next to it. If this is
the case, then it sounds like your default website is gone. Verify that you
still have c:\inetpub\wwwroot. If you don't, then do you know where your
default WWW root directory is?

SOLUTION:

I installed Skype, which must have been accessing port 80.

Web Site

SUMMARY
When you try to use Internet Information Services Manager (IIS Manager) to
start a Web site, the Web site does not start, and you may receive the
following error message:
Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred
CAUSE
This behavior may occur if a port conflict exists on the system. By default,
IIS uses port 80 for HTTP communication. If an application other than IIS is
running and is using port 80 on the same IP address, you may receive the
error message when you try to use IIS Manager to start the Web site.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you can do either of the following: . In IIS
Manager, change the port bindings for the Web site to a port other than port
80.
. Stop the application that is using port 80, and then start the Web
site from IIS Manager.
