I would sugget you reinstall using the following:

a) uninstall IIS (safe or normal mode)
b) Remove files and folders
%windir%/system32/inetsvr/
/inetpub/
%windir%/iisx.log (x=5 for w2k, 6 for XP, Win03)
(use safe mode to delete)
c) reboot, reinstall IIS, repatch machines

if error msgs during installation post it here.
then check iisX.log file for more clues.

Thank you for your previous information and suggestions.

I have reinstalled IIS a couple of times and I get the same problem.

There were no errors during installation and the installation process
seem to go relatively fast. In the last instance I also installed
message queuing and the smtp server which did not cause a problem

Straight after installation IIS console is available and working. The
default web site is stopped due to "unexpected error 0x8ffe2740
occured" and so far I haven't been able to sort that issue out.

After reboot (following iis reinstall) I get the problem of the IIS
console freezing. There are some errors and alerts in the event logger
that may be relevant like "hanging application mmc.exe ..."

I looked in iis6.log. I don't know what I am looking at but I can't
see any log entries that seem to be errors or indicating a fault.

I hope you are able to make further suggestions.

For the unexepected error, it looks like some other programs is using IIS
required port - 80.
what software you do you have in the box? firewall, antivirus, p2p ?
"Unexpected Error 0x8ffe2740 Occurred" Error Message When You Try to Start a
Web Site
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=816944


Next, if it hang again - can you post the complete event log here?

Pardon my ignorance but I can't work out how to send you the event
logs. I have tried to email but either the email bounces or there is
no reply.

How do I post the complete event log here?

Here is the mmc hanging event

Hanging application mmc.exe, version 5.1.2600.2180, hang module
hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.

However, the ^*&*#$@ thing is now working including the default web
site. I swear it was spontaneous because the only thing that I did/saw
was an automatic windows update.


Thank you very much for you help.
