CAUSE

This problem may occur on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 if the Active Server Page engine was not updated properly when you installed a Windows NT Service Pack or Internet Information Services (IIS) 4.0 from the Windows NT Option Pack.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the appropriate method for your situation.

Method 1: Remove and Reinstall the Windows NT Option Pack
