I had a similar problem on my XP Professional machine.  When I attempted to
execute any ASP page (even a simple "hello world"), I received the 500
Error.  I don't know what caused this, but a lot of work went into figuring
out these steps to get your Internet Services back:


1. Back up any ASP files that you need to keep.
2. Uninstall .NET Framework.
3. Uninstall Internet Information Services.
4. Delete the "InetPub" directory.
5. Reinstall Internet Information Services.
6. If desired, reinstall the .NET Framework (I'd test to ensure ASP is
working before this step)
