ASP 0201 Error with //localhost

[Guest]

Hi

I receive the following error when i type http://localhost into the address
bar of windows explorer:


Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201'

Invalid Default Script Language

The default script language specified for this application is invalid.


I have been searching the web and trying different things but nothing can
make this work!!!
If i go into IIS Admin and look under Default Web Site the first document it
will find is 'iisstart.asp'. If i right-click and 'open' it from within iis
admin then explorer opens and the vb code is visible, and when i click
refresh i see the 'Under Construction' page as expected. However when i
right-click from within iis admin and select 'browse' i get the error again.

I have removed and reinstalled IIS, removed and reinstalled .Net Framework,
set all users such as ASPNET and IUSR_ to Administrators, tore what is left
of my hair out and still no joy. I've swapped default languages to JavaScript
and back to VBScript. I've downloaded scripten.exe to try and sort out the
script engine.
I've tried things in different orders to see if that makes any difference.

The only advice left on the net seems to point towards cleaning the registry
(how?), or re-installing SP2 because one of the Windows updates is
responsible (my boss has an identical machine working fine but he doesn't run
a Custom update like i do), or changing NTFS access permissions.
I'm not comfortable with any of these approaches!


Can anybody help??
I have a Dell Latitude D600, XP Profession SP2 with ALL available updates
installed.

Regards,
Richard
