upgrade to w2k3 - web apps wont run

[Guest]

I just upgraded from win2000 to 2003. Now when I try and run a web project I receive the following error message
"Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks. Parameter name: ticks
This occurs on any .aspx page even a new blank page

Also when I look in the event viewer I have the following system error which is occuring very frequently
Unable to start a DCOM Server: {5A5AA0AA-1DEB-4683-96B0-B43301E83971}. The error
"The system cannot find the file specified.
Happened while starting this command
C:\WINNT\system32\HPBPRO.EXE -Embeddin

Sure enough C:\WINNT\system32\HPBPRO.EXE doesn't exists. I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio and ASP.NET, but it didn't help

Any ideas would be greatly appreciate

Regard
Sam

I just upgraded from win2000 to 2003. Now when I try and run a web project

I receive the following error message:

"Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and

DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks. Parameter name: ticks"

This occurs on any .aspx page even a new blank page.

What exactly do you mean, "when I try and run a web project"? Do you mean
when you request any page in the web project?

Also, what does the stack trace show?

I mean when I call up any .ASPX page in Internet Explorer6

The stack trace is as follows

Wow. Interesting stack trace.

This looks there's a file with an unusual creation time, perhaps within the
virtual directory of your web application, perhaps your global.asax. Also,
check your system date/time.

Beyond that, I have no clue. Try a Google search for the error, or maybe
someone from Microsoft can help. I don't recall having seen a stack like
this past "GetCompiledApplicationType".

Thanks John
We have had issues with time synchronization with the domain controller
I'll keep you posted

Hi,

Try deleting the contents of the
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files". It
contains previously compiled cached items for asp.net. Maybe there is an old
incompatible/corrupted file in there.
