try to disable IE friendly error messages (Tools - Internet Options -
Advanced...)
 
Try browsing to an HTML page not ASPX page if that works then you need to
configure ASP.Net on IIS.
Also check the ASP.Net version, wouldn't hurt to run
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
You can also check the weblog to see if the page is actualy being hit, can
usualy be found at C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1.

That's a client issue.

He needs to reconfigure IE to enable enhanced security configuration.

Hi Juan,

I made a test on my Win2003 server. I created a test website with
default.aspx in the root directory. First, I enabled Internet Explorer
Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) by adding this component in
Add or Remove Programs. When starting Internet Explorer, I now had a
page from res://shdoclc.dll/hardAdmin.htm that is about "Internet
Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled". Then I disabled
IE ESC and on starting Internet Explorer, I got the page from
res://shdoclc.dll/softAdmin.htm (as per screen) telling me that
"Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is not enabled".
Now, when I typing http://localhost I see the test page.

You could, also, have left it enabled, and configured localhost as a Trusted site.

thanks everyone for a plethora of replies. this is always helpful. it turned
out to be that ASP.NET was not enabled on the server. i had to go to
Add/Remove Programs and enable it from there.

thanks again to everyone. wow!!
 
That's fine, but what you did was *install* it
from Add/Remove Programs, not "enable" it.

In W2K3, for example, you have to enable it *after* you install it.
