I had the same troubles...  and fixed it by running a configuration
utility called aspnet_regiis.exe.  It can be found in the following
directory:

c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3075 directory called
aspnet_regiis.exe.

Run it in a dos shell as aspnet_regiis -i

(Note: I did a file search on my XP Pro system for aspnet_regiis.exe and
found it.)
