Hi Naresh
I am sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to report my
own experience of Microsoft tech support.
I have had very reassuring dealings with tech support, that I admit I was
not expecting. I have VS.NET Professional, and when I hit a problem that I
could not solve I filled in the on-line form at the Microsoft web-site. I
entered my Product ID and the request for support was accepted without
charge.
Microsoft contacted me by e-mail in much less than 24 hours, and took on my
problem. I had follow up telephone calls from very professional personnel,
who clearly had a good grasp of the problem area. My problem was solved
promptly and professionally.
This is not an isolated case either, as I have had the need to contact
Microsoft tech support on several occasions. Each time the problem has been
dealt with quickly and professionally. On one occasion I was even provided
with a special hotfix to mshtml.dll, which is not on general release.
If you have a registered version of the development tools, I would recommend
trying the free support route if the newsgroups are unable to help. In my
experience they are only too willing to help.

I have been having a problem and I don't know where to go for help. The
microsoft support is only for a fees. Can anyone at all please at least
point to a site or some place where I can hope for some enlightment. My problem:
I am using Windows XP and had installed .NET 2000. I then downloaded the
..NET framework 1.1 from teh microsoft site and installed it and then
rebooted the machine. When I open the Internet manager console, I find that
my web server is not running. When I select it and choose the run icon I get
the following error: "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred"
I downloaded and ran the FPort utility and found that an unnamed Process
with a particular Process ID is using port 80. But I cannot find that
process in the task manager window. I have tried repeatedly uninstalling, reinstalling the .NET SDK and then
installing the framework 1.1 and each time this probelm occurs. This problem
only occurs if I install the .NET Framework redistributable 1.1. Can someone please help
thanks
