I found this error occurred on iis5.0 on a win2000 server; when the 

Execute Permission of the Virtual Directory where set to anything other 

then Low(IIS Process).

I think, by default, the setting is Medium(Pooled).

I run a small intranet that isnt effected by this change and have had no 

problems since. I have come across is twice and have found this to be the 

only fix.
