David,
There is a program called "aspnet_regiis.exe" that resides in
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 (mind the version number if you
use .NET Framework 1.1).
Try running this utility - it fixes ASP .NET registration in IIS. I had my
IIS metabase completely corrupted once, and after re-installing IIS this
utility successfully re-installed all required ASP .NET stuff.
