Anyone with insight into this?
I am enabling IIS on my PC running XP Professional. It was upgraded to SP2
via Microsoft windows online update.
When I enable IIS or any other service from "Add/Remove Windows Components"
I'm prompted for the SP2 CD. I have a copy of the CD from Dell from when it
was released, so of course I insert it then the selected components are
installed. IIS works, however the overall internet connection speed is
affected.
There is an unbelievably long pause browsing a web address, then finding
each object that is downloaded per page. Once the link is established the
transfer is up-to-speed. For a web page with several images it can take
longer than a minute to connect and download to display. I have a DSL
connection and 2 other PCs on the network. They both run fine. I've bypassed
the router and still have the delays connecting to a page.
Returning to a system restore point before installing IIS the connection is
fast again. I've tried disabling bits and pieces of IIS to only what is
essential yet the problem persists. I suspect the SP2 CD I have from Dell
has an outdated system file on it, however there's no apparent way to
install IIS without it. Since the Windows update site believes I already
have SP2 it will not download the professinal components. The files the IIS
enabling looks far are not on the hard drive, the only place I know to get
them is from the CD.
