Brian,
I'm CC'ing this to Jeff, one of my programmers, who knows all too well
about this subject. He should be able to give you an answer, although
you may not like it.
Executive summary: installing CF on Win2K breaks ASP's ADO, and
sometimes* only a disk reformat will cure it.
Good luck,
-Ron
*I'll let Jeff tell you for sure.
