ASP files only work in low application protection!

Hi!

I have a W2k IIS5 where I have problems running asp pages (even
<%Response.Write "Hello World"%>) . I add a virtual directory and have
application level set to medium (pooled). If I change to Low (IIS Process)
everything works fine.

The error messages I get are
Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the
processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail
information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance

From event log
COM+ Services was unable to initialize due to a failure in the system API
shown below. This is often caused by a shortage of system resources on the
local machine.
CryptAcquireContext
Process Name: dllhost.exe
The serious nature of this error has caused the process to terminate.
Error Code = 0x80090017 : Provider type not defined.
COM+ Services Internals Information:
File: .\security.cpp, Line: 615

It seems to be some security problems. Could running synciwam.vbs? I have
never executed this script and don't know if anything can get corrupted (the
server is not mine so I don't want to experiment too much with it). Once
again it works if I switch to low application protection.

It sounds like your IWAM account may not configured with correct password.
