Why does IIS keep dieing with this error?

[Confused]

I have IIS enabled on WinXP, and after a while (sometimes 2+days, sometimes couple of hours) it will just not work, and if i try to restart it it will come up with "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740" every time

Anyone know what this is and how to stop it?

Thanks in advance

LOL! Been told that many times before! The site layout i use is in ASP, which i like and i can't be bothered to rewrite it into PHP as i've been told before too

Search using google. You will find lots of links with explanations. Remember, google is your friend

Apparently, this error means that port 80 is in use. You must have installed something that uses port 80 (Oracle -> Apache?). Search the web using google for the error number. You may also want to search the newsgroups as well.

Yep, port 80 is in use. I use it for my public TeAm AnandTech SetiQueue. However i have set up IIS from the start to use port 8080, so i don't know why it would be kicking up this error

Confused, IIS is a Beayatch so if I were you I would change my Q to some other port and let 'her' have 80.
Also be sure to keep on top of the security patches, cuz she's a HO too.
