IIS 5.0 fails to start on Win XP SPI

Guest

I just bought a new machine a few months ago, and since
loading it up and getting started, I have installed IIS 5.0
from the "Add Windows Services" screen. When i try to start
the Default Web Site, however, I get an "Unexpected Error:
[error code]" message. I used to get this on my old
computer when I tried accessing a web page connecting to a
locked database. Trying to reboot the server gave me the
error and I'd have to reboot. But now, the server won't
even start for the first time. This is an OEM installed
version of Win XP Pro. I decided to leave it rather than
wipe the OS clean. Anyone run into this issue and know a
fix other than reinstalling the OS?

What was the error code?

Also, check in the event logs to see if there are any error messages
logged there related to IIS...
