webapp - what log file?

[Kevin]

I use debug->"Start without debugging", I get the
following message on the browser window. What log file
is it talking about?

The Event viewer is an Administrative tool which holds System, security, and
Application eventlogs. Depending on what OS you are on it will be in
different places. Here's where it is on the two systems I have here.

Win2K = Start|Settings|Control Panel|Administrative Tools|EventViewer
Win 2k3 = Start|Administrative Tools|EventViewer

start -> run -> eventvwr

look at the "system" group

I forgot to mention the source, Service Control Manager.

I am running XP.

I forgot to mention the source, Service Control Manager.

I am running XP.

Let me guess, XP with .net 1.0? The error was caused by a recent security
patch. It only affects people with XP pro and .net 1.0.

oops, didn't realize that was you (Kevin) that posted the solution.
Thanks - that saved me a bit of time the other day.
