Visual Studio .NET - Web Application Error 500

Hi,

I am running Win2K and I was working on my project with Visual Studio .NET 2003. Every thing was working fine. Then I decided to install MSN Messanger 6.2. After that when I try to open my existing web application project or try to create a new web application with Visual Studio .NET I get the following error:

HTTP/1.0 500 Server Error, and It says the application is not available.

I tried to open an HTML page from wwwroot folder I got the following error:

[code=CANT_CONNECT_LOOPBACK] Cannot connect due to potential loopback problems

Any suggestions why IIS stoped working after installing MSN Messanger and how I can fix this problem.

Thanks
