Problems loading web pages

[Jon]

I can't run aspnet applications after doing building it in Visual
Studio. I can load the application in my browser until I make changes
in vs. After that, it just hangs. I've waited up to 5-10 minutes for
the page to load, but eventually have to shut off the power as
everything stops responding. I've been having this problem for a while,
so I'd really appreciate it if I could get a suggestion.

Hi Jon,

The first thing I would try is killing the aspnet_wp.exe process using the
task manager. That will cause it to recycle and should fix this "hanging"
problem. This is not the long-term solution, though.

Are you using VS.NET 2003, or a later version? Maybe you need to upgrade
your system to .NET framework 1.1 with VS.NET 2003?

Do you have mssearch installed and enabled? There are some issues with
mssearch and VS.NET being able to write assemblies that are being searched by
mssearch. Try disabling mssearch on your computer when you are developing
your projects. Again, this is not a long-term solution.

Do you have any IIS accelerators installed? Things that attempt to cache,
compress, or otherwise intercede in requests? If so, disable or remove them
from your development machine. They might be holding locks on the assemblies
that could be causing timeouts.

If everything stops responding after 5-10 minutes, then it sounds like it
could be drive related (hardware failure), memory, or a COM interop
incompatibility (some software you have installed could be interferring with
IIS/Windows).

Run a chkdsk on your drives to make sure they are healthy. Also, you can
get a memory checker from OCA.MICROSOFT.COM that will identify any memory
errors on your system.

Hope that helps.

I can't run the Task Manager.

I'm using 2002, and an upgrade is not possible at this time. The
problem came up in recent months, I've used 2002 for three years before
this without a problem.

No accelators or search tools.

Maybe it wasn't clear, I waited 5 minutes for the modified page to
load. Everything stops responding when I try to load the modified page.
I don't have this problem with other web pages. After booting up again,
the modified page loads normally.
Run a chkdsk on your drives to make sure they are healthy.
Also, you can get a memory checker from OCA.MICROSOFT.COM
that will identify any memory errors on your system.
These bring up nothing, neither does the event viewer.
Hope that helps.
