When I try to access an ASP page on my own box running IIS5 I get Page Cannot Be Displayed - even if the asp source contains nothing other than 'xxx'.

When I try to access an HTML page which has the same content ('xxx') it works fine.

This has only just started happening today - before today asp pages displayed without any problems.
Any ideas?

Resolved....

I found that the local user account (IWAM_username) was locked out. This account is used to start out of process applications (asp I guess) - quite how or why the account got locked is beyond me.
