Hi There!

My ASP website with IIS 5 is working fine until I installed Windows XP
Service pack 2 and since that time I'm getting the following error when I
tried to browse the ASP pages...

The requested resource is in use.

This error does not show up when I browse the following files and those
files can be successfully browsed...

- htm files
- ASPX files (ASP.NET file)

So what could be the problem? I've made some research on Google and many
people had this problem but solved when they turn-on the "Cache ISAPI
Applications" setting in IIS. But I've turned-ON this setting and still
getting this error on ASP pages! I've also re-started the computer several
times but still does not get it to work!

Please help!

Just forgot to copy to the one of the most related newsgroup for my problem!

Hi Aron,

Thanks for the info. But the thing is I didn't use any ADO objects so
there's no ADO connections to be closed.

I can't even open the "Hello World" asp page.

Another strange thing is that when I access something like this...

http://localhost/somepage.asp

then, the same error message appear! The point is there's no asp page with
the name 'somepage.asp'. Shouldn't it return "Page Not Found" error instead
of "The requested resource is in use." error?

I guess some program is messing with my computer to block any request that
ends with 'asp'. And this only happened after I've installed Windows XP
service pack 2 yesterday night!

Please help!

Try disabling the firewall. It blocked me with 'unknown error' from using
ftp in the browser and on the command line. I tried quickly adding ftp.exe
but that didn't work so I disabled it since I already have a firewall, ids,
ips, application protection, registry shield and memory shield.

This may also help...

Don - or anyone that knows the answer...

I am having the exact problem that you described. Did you ever figure
out the "requested resource is in use" issue. I just installed SP2 on
my XP machine. I am having the same problem loading .asp pages that
are located on my local machine.

Thanks,

AT
