ha ha ha. Yes I am brave enough to laugh even when the good old computer bug
bites :)
No friend, my NT was not screwed up before imail. This problem is
reproducible. I formatted my hard drive and re-installed NT and IIS 2.0,
installed service pack 3 which upgraded IIS 2.0 to IIS 3.0 and then installed
imail. Same problem. The moment I install imail, IIS stops working. I then
reformatted the hard drive and re-did the whole process again (yes I do give
pain like that to myself at times ha ha ha) and then same problem. IIS 3.0
works till I install imail and then once I install imail, when I browse a web
site on the IIS, I ALWAYS get the message "Your browser has sent a mal-formed
request".
I will now try with just NT and straight to IIS 4.0 and report back to this
list.
Thanks for everyone's help though. It is greatly appreciated.
